Equip your kid with the skills to become a live saving-hero and first responder when detecting the first signs of a stroke. The FAST Heroes 995 is Singapore’s first stroke education programme for children and is a collaboration between Singapore National Stroke Association (SNSA) and the Angels Initiative from Boehringer Ingelheim.

The FAST Heroes 995 campaign is an educational initiative to raise stroke awareness. It aims to educate children between the ages of five to 10, and their families, to recognise three main stroke symptoms and call the emergency number in the event a stroke is suspected.
