HCAH Rehab Center Hosts Discussion On Stroke Cases

Hyderabad: HCAH India, a rehabilitation and recovery center, hosted a roundtable discussion on the importance of early rehabilitation in stroke recovery. The discussion centered around early rehabilitation for preventing long-term disability, reducing healthcare costs, and integrating cutting-edge technologies like robotics and AI for better patient outcomes.

Dr Naveen Mehrotra, Chief Neurosurgeon, KIMS Sunshine Hospitals, Hyderabad, and Dr Ananth Egoor, Consultant Neurosurgeon, Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, emphasised on the need for public awareness and structured rehabilitation. Dr Aastik Bhatt, Leading Specialist in Neuro Rehabilitation & Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) at HCAH Hyderabad, stressed on the need to expand rehabilitation services.

According to the experts, despite medical advancements, only 25 per cent of India’s population has access to stroke-ready hospitals, leaving many patients without timely intervention.

Dr Gaurav Thukral, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of HCAH, reinforced HCAH’s commitment to affordability, accessibility, and innovation in stroke rehabilitation. “As Hyderabad’s first and only provider of a dedicated PMR team, we are setting a new benchmark in stroke care by integrating AI-driven recovery programmes and robotic rehabilitation solutions - helping patients reclaim their independence faster and more effectively,” Thukral said. AI-powered therapy programmes and robotic rehabilitation solutions aid motor function recovery, track real-time progress, and adapt treatment dynamically to optimize outcomes, he added. The roundtable concluded with a strong call to action for healthcare providers, policymakers, and the public to recognise the urgent need for early stroke rehabilitation and advanced medical interventions.
