The super center for stroke treatment includes:
A Stroke Unit: In the unit, patients who are in the acute phase after a stroke are hospitalized for urgent treatment, as well as for further investigation and treatment to prevent another stroke. Our patients undergo a comprehensive functional assessment by a skilled team, and receive care from a physiotherapist and a speech therapist, tailored to their condition. Our unit also provides elective hospitalization for treating carotid artery strictures. This is done through catheterization and stent installation, which helps prevent cerebrovascular events.
Stroke clinic: Our clinic staff follows up on patients who have been discharged from hospitalization and those referred from the community. We aim to balance the risk factors and make necessary adjustments for effective secondary stroke prevention. At the clinic, we offer Botox injections to help with limb spasticity in patients recovering from a stroke. Additionally, our clinic is responsible for investigating and treating vascular diseases of the neck and brain.
Cerebral (Doppler) and Cerebral (TCD) Demonstration Institute: The institute's test provides information about the normal blood flow in the arteries of the neck and brain.
