Emergency numbers
Emergency (all services)911Recognize stroke symptoms early (FAST), call your local emergency number immediately, and seek the nearest hospital with imaging and acute stroke capability. Acute capability varies by facility and region.
Uruguay has ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. On the ground, day-to-day accessibility for stroke survivors is broadly inclusive. Accessibility is fairly consistent across cities; some older districts and rural areas still have gaps.
This profile is modeled from income group, region and WHO indicators — the specific national disability statute has not been individually verified for Uruguay.
