When we desperately needed timely treatment, there was no CT scan available, leading to a delayed hospital visit beyond the crucial 4.5-hour window. After initial care, Rinchen was discharged with a prescription for physiotherapy, which was only available twice a week. Limited stroke care facilities compounded our struggles, taking a toll on us emotionally, physically, and financially, eventually leading to depression. Our access to proper stroke care was limited due to the absence of specialized facilities and professionals in Bhutan. There was no post-stroke care, and the financial burden was overwhelming.
