Ladda-SSV Model
Four Pillars of Village-Level Stroke Safety
The Ladda-SSV Model brings Surveillance, Prevention, Acute Care, and Rehabilitation into one connected pathway for the Ladda-SSV Village Network. Each pillar supports a different stage of stroke safety: before stroke, during a suspected stroke, and after survival.
A structured rural pathway, not a single isolated service.
Why Four Pillars Matter
Rural stroke safety needs a connected pathway
In village communities, stroke care is often affected by delayed recognition, uncertainty about what to do next, limited emergency coordination, and poor access to rehabilitation. The four-pillar model is designed to connect these gaps into one clearer community response.
1
Before stroke
Build awareness and make basic risk checks easier to access.
2
During suspected stroke
Use a phone-first pathway for assessment and eligible transport support.
3
After survival
Support registered stroke patients through rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation.
Model Snapshot
The four connected parts of Ladda-SSV
Each pillar has a clear role, but the strength of the model is in how the pillars work together for village families.
1
Surveillance
Community stroke recognition, school-based awareness, and early reporting support.
Supports: awareness and recognition
2
Prevention
Free blood pressure and blood sugar checks through clinic-based and village-network services.
Supports: risk awareness
3
Acute Care
A stroke-only, phone-first pathway for suspected stroke concerns within the village network.
Supports: urgent stroke response
4
Rehabilitation
Appointment-based stroke rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation support for registered patients.
Supports: recovery after stroke
Pillar Details
What each pillar means for village families
The Four Pillars explain how Ladda-SSV moves from public awareness to practical stroke support while keeping each activity within its correct scope.
Pillar 1
Surveillance: helping villages recognize stroke earlier
The Surveillance pillar builds a community recognition network through school-based stroke awareness and village-level reporting support. Students, especially from Classes 6 to 12, are trained to understand warning signs and know that stroke concerns should be reported quickly through the correct pathway.
✓
Stroke warning-sign awareness
✓
School and community education
✓
Early reporting culture without assigning clinical responsibility to students
Pillar 2
Prevention: making basic risk checks easier to access
The Prevention pillar focuses on practical access to blood pressure and blood sugar checks. These services help people become more aware of common stroke-related risk factors through Mata Rupinder Clinic and scheduled village-network visits.
✓
Free blood pressure checks
✓
Free blood sugar checks
✓
Non-emergency support for people well enough to attend independently
Pillar 3
Acute Care: a phone-first pathway for suspected stroke
The Acute Care pillar begins with a helpline call. It is designed for suspected stroke concerns within the Ladda-SSV Village Network and follows a structured assessment pathway before any eligible transport support is arranged.
Important stroke pathway note
Suspected stroke patients should not be brought directly to Mata Rupinder Clinic or the Ladda hub without calling first. Ladda-SSV support is stroke-only, helpline-based, and does not cover hospital charges.
✓
Phone-first stroke concern pathway
✓
Video assessment with the Ladda-SSV team where appropriate
✓
Transport support only for eligible suspected stroke cases following the pathway
Pillar 4
Rehabilitation: supporting recovery after stroke
The Rehabilitation pillar supports registered stroke patients through appointment-based rehabilitation at Mata Rupinder Clinic and tele-rehabilitation where suitable. The focus is stroke recovery support, not general walk-in neuro-rehabilitation for every condition.
✓
Appointment-based stroke rehabilitation
✓
Tele-rehabilitation support for suitable registered patients
✓
Methods may include mirror therapy, soft robotic glove-based therapy, TENS, and neuroplasticity-based rehabilitation
Connected Pathway
Recognize. Reduce Risk. Respond. Recover.
The four pillars are easier to understand when seen as one continuous village stroke-safety pathway.
1
Recognize
Build awareness so warning signs are noticed earlier in homes, schools, and village settings.
2
Reduce Risk
Make basic blood pressure and blood sugar checks easier to access through community services.
3
Respond
Guide suspected stroke concerns through a phone-first pathway and eligible transport support.
4
Recover
Support registered stroke patients through rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation after survival.
