In Malaysia, 1 in 4 people will have strokes in their lifetime. About 50,000 individuals suffer from stroke annually, and 40% affect individuals below the age of 60. Of stroke patients, 7 in 10 become dependents and require assistance for day-to-day living. More support needs to be channeled for this often overlooked community.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the situations of stroke patients. Stroke patients are too afraid to seek treatment and rehabilitation as public hospitals have become overwhelmed with dealing with COVID-19 patients.

We look into the physical, emotional and social needs of strokees and our integrated approach includes physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, emotional therapy, recreational and social activities as well as various complementary therapies. An example of which is the Head2Heal programme, which seeks to provide holistic recovery for patients in mind, body and spirit.
