Push for life saving Bunbury Hospital stroke unit
Stroke Foundation is urging the next Western Australia state government to invest in a stroke unit at Bunbury Regional Hospital to save lives and improve outcomes from stroke.
A dedicated stroke unit at the new hospital is one of three key actions in Stroke Foundation’s Western Australia Election Platform Step up for stroke. These actions would strengthen the state’s treatment, care and prevention measures, by building on the recent expansion of the WA Telestroke Service and targeted community education.
Stroke Foundation Western Australia State Manager Luke Hays said stroke strikes the brain and can change lives in an instant.
