Obaseki said, “In commemoration of World Stroke Day, it is important for health workers, civil society organisations and relevant Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to collaborate with the government in raising awareness for the prevention and treatment of stroke. To address the challenge, there is a need to make critical lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of the life-threatening health condition.

“On our part as a government, we want to encourage people, especially adults, to be circumspect, go for regular health checks and make a concerted effort to adhere to health regimes that reduce the risk of stroke. Despite being the leading cause of disability worldwide and the second leading cause of death, stroke can be prevented. Hence, it is necessary to be cautious.”

According to Obaseki, adults should adapt to life choices such as regular exercises and dancing, which keep the body active to prevent stroke.

He added that with the health policies put in place by the state government such as the Edo State Health Improvement Programme (Edo-HIP) and the state-wide health insurance scheme, there would be better healthcare to detect deteriorating health and provide adequate service to halt the menace of preventable health conditions.
