📢 Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland &Stroke Association are calling on Scottish Government to expand access on thrombectomy.

We were at the High Court yesterday for the legal challenge against the UK gov’s ongoing arms transfers to Israel.

Over 43,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces - over 17,000 of them children. The UK gov must be held accountable for the failure to uphold int’l law.
