Every October 29, we commemorate World Stroke Prevention Day — a date that seeks to raise awareness about the importance of recognizing the symptoms of a stroke and acting quickly. At Clínica CES, we work every day to provide timely, high-quality care that helps save lives from the very first minute.
A teamwork effort recognized internationally
Clínica CES has been awarded Platinum and later Gold distinctions by the Angels Initiative — recognitions that highlight the quality and timeliness of its stroke care. These achievements reflect the commitment of every team member, from those who first receive the patient to the medical staff who accompany their recovery.
“Our goal is to keep growing and providing high-quality care. We aim to continue achieving distinctions such as the Diamond award and accreditation from the World Stroke Organization,” says Dr. Salvador Medina Mantilla, Neurologist at Clínica CES.
A story that inspires hope
“I am a stroke survivor, and today I can say my recovery is 99%. I’m deeply grateful to the doctors and specialists at Clínica CES for their care and support,” shares Gloria Helena Monsalve, a stroke survivor.
Each testimony reaffirms that saving lives begins by doing things right from the very first minute. On World Stroke Day, we renew our commitment to education, prevention, and people-centered care.
CORRE+: the key to detecting a stroke in time
Acting quickly can make the difference during a stroke — a medical emergency where every second counts to save neurons and reduce long-term effects. The CORRE strategy is a simple guide that helps you identify the main warning signs and respond promptly. Each letter represents a key symptom. Recognizing them and acting without delay — by calling 123 or going to the nearest emergency service — can mean the difference between life and permanent disability. Learning, observing, and reacting on time is the first step to saving lives from stroke.
A stroke not only affects the patient but also their family and surroundings. That’s why information and prevention are the most powerful tools to face it. Recognizing the symptoms, acting quickly, and reaching a high-complexity healthcare institution like ours in time can save lives and reduce complications. At Clínica CES, we work with advanced technology and a highly trained medical team to provide comprehensive and timely care, reaffirming our commitment to recovery and the well-being of every person.
