Neurology
At the neurology department we offer most accurate diagnosis and medical management of common to complex neurological conditions. We take a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions at the department, providing individual care to patients with diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, sleep disorders, and tumors of the brain, spine and nerves. The specialists at the department provide promising medical care to adult and paediatric patients for neurological disorders with the help of highly enhanced technologies. We aim at improving the quality and functionality of the lives of people with neurological disorders through comprehensive evaluation and sound treatment plan. Minimally-invasive, image based techniques and procedures are provided under the interventional neurology division to ensure specialised care. Focused care is given to patients with problems of memory, behaviour, cognition, etc. due to neurological damages. Neuro rehabilitation services are provided to help patients recover from stroke and get them back to normal life faster.
