Prathima Hospital Hyderabad: Your Trusted Stroke-Ready Care Partner for Emergency and Comprehensive Management
Understanding Stroke: A Medical Emergency
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, affecting millions each year. In India, it is a growing health crisis, requiring rapid diagnosis, prompt treatment, and specialized care to save lives and minimize long-term complications.
Prathima Hospital, Hyderabad, stands at the forefront of this challenge as a stroke-ready hospital, equipped to provide timely intervention, advanced treatment, and holistic management for stroke patients.
A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or a rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). The resulting lack of oxygen and nutrients can lead to brain cell damage within minutes, making it critical to act swiftly.
Common symptoms of stroke include:
- Sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body.
- Difficulty speaking or understanding speech.
- Vision problems in one or both eyes.
- Loss of balance or coordination.
- Severe headache with no known cause.
Time is Brain is a well-known phrase in stroke care, underscoring the need for immediate medical attention to reduce the risk of severe disability or death. At Prathima Hospital, we are committed to being your lifeline during such emergencies.
