WORLD BRAIN DAY July 22, 2026, with the theme “Brain Health: Access for All”.

This year's theme emphasizes that everyone has the right to receive quality education, prevention, diagnosis, and neurological care without delay.

One of the brain emergencies that requires rapid medical attention is a stroke. Recognize the early symptoms with FAST:

F - Face: sudden facial drooping
A - Arm: sudden arm weakness or difficulty lifting the arm
S - Speech: slurred speech, unclear, or difficulty speaking
T - Time: note the time the symptoms started and head to the ER immediately

Do not wait for the symptoms to improve on their own. Facial drooping, arm weakness, or slurred speech are signs that require emergency medical assistance.

Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta is on 24-Hour Stroke Alert, supported by a team of neurologists and integrated services to help provide fast and accurate treatment.
