Overview
- During Eid-ul-Fitr, the Services Hospital stroke centre gave rapid TNK injections that reversed severe strokes within hours.
- Officials said the Specialized Healthcare Department is supplying the costly TNK drug at no charge to patients.
- Families of the four patients said they could not have afforded the injection without government support.
- Fourteen stroke centres now operate across Punjab, with the government planning to extend the service to all districts.
- Neurology head Dr. Muhammad Adnan Aslam urged people to watch for blurred vision, facial droop, slurred speech, imbalance, or limb weakness, and to reach a stroke centre within three to four hours.
