The Neuro ICU is fully equipped with multi para monitors and ventilators. Low cost and high quality of care make the neuro ICU a much sought after place for the public. The Neurophysiology Department is a busy one, well experienced technicians are doing about 200 EEG's, 125 NCS per month. We are also doing EMG, VEP, repetitive nerve stimulation, SSEP, Brain stem Auditory evoked potentials, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, autonomic function tests, Transcranial Doppler, Muscle biopsy, Nerve biopsy. A well equipped Stroke Rehabilitation Unit with a team of efficient Physiotherapists and Neuropsychiatry faculty are offering a well appreciated service.
A Stroke and interventional neurology department with DSA, Thrombectomy was started since 2018 with an average of 15-20 cases per month.
