Treat patients with acute stroke

Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or brain attack, stands as a leading cause of death in Thailand. It occurs when a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain becomes obstructed or ruptures, disrupting the flow of oxygen and nutrients to brain cells. This disruption leads to brain damage and loss of function, resulting in sudden paralysis, stroke, or even death. In Thailand, stroke affects approximately 250,000 individuals annually, translating to one new case every two minutes. Among these patients, 30% may succumb to the disease, another 30% experience severe disabilities that impair mobility and speech, while the remaining 40% have a chance of full recovery or residual symptoms.

Therefore, stroke is another silent threat that ranks among the most serious health hazards worldwide due to its sudden onset of symptoms. Statistics from the Ministry of Public Health in 2023 reveal a concerning upward trend in stroke prevalence, with a total of 349,126 cases and 36,214 fatalities recorded. This alarming increase is compounded by a notable decline in the average age of stroke patients, dispelling the misconception that this condition primarily affects the elderly. The rising prevalence of stroke among younger individuals is attributed to modern lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, inadequate sleep, smoking, substance abuse, unbalanced diets, and the presence of underlying health conditions like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, sleep apnea, and heart disease.

Stroke Center of Excellence at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital is a leading provider of stroke care in Thailand, serving as a referral center for stroke patients in Bangkok and surrounding areas. With over 700 ischemic stroke patients treated annually, the hospital offers advanced endovascular thrombectomy procedures to restore blood flow to the brain. These procedures, performed 5-8 patients per month, can be costly and may result in out-of-pocket expenses for both insured and uninsured patients.

The Thai Red Cross Society recognizes the urgency of addressing the stroke crisis and calls upon philanthropists to support the project "Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society." This initiative aims to provide life-saving treatment to 50-60 stroke patients annually by utilizing endovascular thrombectomy procedures. To ensure that all patients, regardless of their insurance status, have access to world-standard medical care, reducing the likelihood of disability and eliminating out-of-pocket expenses.

Every second counts in stroke treatment. Your contribution can be the lifeline that empowers patients to reclaim their lives.
