According to a report released by the South African Medical Association Journal, a stroke is the second leading cause of death after HIV/AIDS.
Also, over 120 out of 100 000 people aged 35 years and younger die from strokes annually. However, a stroke is preventable.

Joining us to discuss this is Dr. Robyn Holgate, Emergency Medicine Manager at Mediclinic.
