Parul University continues its commitment, for patient centered healthcare and rehabilitation medical practices, through thought leadership, more advanced treatment options and community focused healthcare programs. With that in mind, Dr. Geetika Madan Patel, Vice President of Parul University, recently shared her perspective on how stroke care is changing and how rehabilitation fits in. She did it via an initiative titled “Stroke Care Beyond the Emergency Room”, which was published in Healthcare Horizons magazine.
The initiative leans into the rising need for a more integrated, patient-centered approach to stroke care in India, and argues that good treatment goes beyond just emergency medical intervention. It points out long term rehabilitation, neurological recovery, plus physiotherapy, and then the emotional support side as well. There’s also this emphasis on multidisciplinary treatment models, where multiple kinds of specialists work together so patients can slowly regain independence and ultimately improve their quality of life after the stroke , not only for the first hours or days but for the latter too.
