Department of Neurology

 

The Neurology Department has gathered several experts specializing in health services and research in neurology fields, taking care of patients with neurological disorders such as stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, headache, pain, and sleep disorders. We have formed an integrated, multidisciplinary team comprising of health care professionals from neurology, neurosurgery, rehabilitation, neuroradiology departments, dieticians and nursing care. Care plans for each patient is personalized throughout the course of their diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and recovery.

Our neurology department also works closely with local community centers to care for our elderly population by providing early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and long term care of dementia and addressing other related neurodegenerative diseases. We also regularly participate in patient awareness and education. All of our doctors actively participate in group activities and ensure the highest standards of health care.
