Our Mission

The Pakistan Stroke Initiative is dedicated to transforming stroke care in Pakistan by focusing on early stroke intervention, comprehensive physician training, and expanding access to life-saving healthcare services. Our mission is to reduce the burden of stroke-related deaths and disabilities by empowering healthcare professionals, increasing public awareness, and improving the standard of care nationwide.

Commitment to Quality Care

We strive to deliver the highest standards of medical care for every stroke patient, regardless of background or location.

Community Outreach

We actively engage with communities across Pakistan to raise awareness, educate the public, and promote preventive measures for stroke.

Education

We prioritize the continuous training and development of physicians and healthcare workers to ensure rapid and effective stroke response.

Meet Iqra

A resident of Larkana Singh until recently was a typical 14-year-old teenage girl in grade 7 who enjoyed listening to Bollywood music and playing with her siblings.
Last month, her world changed. She suddenly developed an intense severe headache, the worst imaginable. Throughout the day, she became tired, lethargic, and couldn’t keep anything down. Her parents, a poor laborer and homemaker, took her to the local district hospital, and a CT scan of the head confirmed bleeding in the brain due to a ruptured brain aneurysm.

You Can Be Their Hope After Stroke

Every donation brings a stroke survivor one step closer to recovery. Your generosity helps fund therapy, support services, and essential medical care. Together, we can restore lives and empower patients to live independently again.

What Happens

During a Stroke?

When blood flow is blocked or interrupted, brain cells begin to die, and every minute counts. The faster you receive treatment, the more brain tissue can be saved.
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, do not wait. Call your local emergency services immediately.

Upcoming Events

Stroke Awareness Programs

Pakistan Stroke Initiative has organized and conducted several stroke awareness programs in Pakistan, targeting young students, physicians, and emergency medical services. Recently, we partnered with physicians across the subcontinent to create a new stroke acronym in Urdu which would be easy for the public to remember: “Jab band ho jaye haath, chehra, ya zabaan, fauran karo ilaaj, bachao apni jaan.” Visit the about strokes page to watch full public awareness video we produced, otherwise see above for the short version.

Direct Clinical Treatments

We provide devices and treatment of complex brain aneurysms and vascular malformations free of cost. These are some of the complex brain aneurysm we have recently treated in Pakistan.
