Ambulance and Emergency Stroke Support in Uganda
Fast Response Saves Lives – Get Help When Every Second Counts
When it comes to stroke, time is brain. Every minute without treatment increases the risk of permanent brain damage. That’s why the Stroke Foundation Uganda provides dedicated ambulance and emergency response services to ensure stroke patients receive urgent care when they need it most.
Why Emergency Stroke Support Matters
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in Uganda. Unfortunately, many stroke patients experience delays in getting to a hospital due to lack of awareness, poor transport options, or long distances from emergency facilities. Our ambulance and stroke emergency support program is designed to close this gap by offering:
Rapid response ambulance dispatch
Trained first responders and medical personnel
Stroke-aware emergency handling
Safe transport to stroke-ready hospitals
