On Brain Stroke Day, a team of doctors from Park Hospital, Mohali, spoke about the latest treatment options.

Addressing the media, Dr Sandeep Sharma, Group Director, Interventional Radiology, said, “Stroke is emerging as the new epidemic worldwide with 1.5 to 2.0 million new cases being reported across India every year. India accounts for 60% of all stroke patients globally. The reason for increased incidence in India is lack of awareness about the disease.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
