Getting stroke patients to a well equipped hospital in time is crucial to save their lives. “It is fitting that we are launching this world class biplane neuro angio procedure suite on the occasion of a World Stroke Day. The new facility will go a long way in saving the lives of such patients and more importantly avoid paralysis,” Director, Yashoda Hospitals Group, Dr Pawan Gorukanti during the launch said.

“Stroke patients have a better chance of getting good results as soon as they reach the stroke center after the onset of symptoms. Delaying every one hour before initiation of treatment significantly reduces the chance of a good result by 30 percent. The neuro suite will ensure timely treatment, can move the patient 360 degrees around and it essentially equips our team to provide the patient life-saving care with the highest speed and accuracy,” said Dr. Suresh Giragani,  Senior Neuro and Interventional Radiologist,  Yashoda Hospitals. 

Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan congratulated the Yashoda Hospitals Group for the new facility and urged public, especially those who are predisposed to chronic diseases like diabetes, blood pressure and obesity and are aged above 50 years, to get regular medical checkups. 

Senior neurosurgeon, Dr. Anand Balasubramaniam, senior neurologist, Dr. Komal Kumar and others were present.
