A Bangkok Hospital Pattaya health fair raised awareness on the risks of stroke and offered advice on caring for victims.
The Nov. 17 event mixed fun and educational activities with health checks to encourage people to take more care of their brains and the arteries flowing to it.
Five neurologists demonstrated exams of the carotid artery using ultrasound and discussed treatments and patient care. They invited patients to discuss their experiences and offered stroke-risk tests free to 55 attendees.
The Neuroscience team of doctors from Bangkok Hospital Pattaya poses for a group photo during the hospital’s recent health fair.
Other booths offered information on the brain’s makeup, psychologists
to evaluate patients for depression, and discussions on stroke risk factors, including high blood pressure.
Bangkok Hospital Pattaya offers a full suite of neurological services. For more information call 1719.
