To raise awareness about stroke, which kills more than 100,000 people a year, the Tower of the Sun in Suita City, Osaka, was lit up in blue on October 29th, World Stroke Day.
The Japan Stroke Association, which is made up of specialists, patients, and others, will light up buildings and monuments around the country in blue, the symbol color of its activities, in conjunction with World Stroke Day on October 29th, to highlight the importance of prevention and early treatment. It appeals to sexuality.
On the 29th, the Tower of the Sun in Expo’70 Commemoration Park in Suita City, Osaka, was lit up in blue just after 5 p.m.
Strokes often have characteristic symptoms such as loss of strength in one limb, paralysis in half of the face, and slurred speech. We urge you to immediately call an ambulance and seek treatment at a medical institution.
Kazuo Minematsu, president of the Japan Stroke Association, said, “I want as many people as possible to know that stroke is a disease that can be prevented and treated if treated early.” For prevention, it is important to improve lifestyle-related diseases such as high blood pressure. Therefore, I hope that they will respond properly without delaying treatment.”
