Dear Friend's and Colleagues,

I would like to thank all members of Indian Stroke Association for electing me to the post of President of this prestigious ogranisation.

Stroke,as we all know ,is one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity across the world. Early recognition of its signs, initiation of treatment within the window period can reduce the burden in thrombolic stroke. Increasing awareness about this factor amongst the public and working to make facilities for primary treatment at the grass root level at an affordable cost should be our priority.
