Best Neurology Hospital in Kerala

Epilepsy, strokes and other muscle-related ailments are some of the most significant contributors to India's cumulative neurological disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)—such a high metric warrants immediate and accurate treatment at par with international standards. A few decades back, even basic neurological examinations were hard to find in Kerala. This prompted the philanthropists in Kerala to initiate the neurology department at Caritas hospital. Within a very short period, the quality of treatment provided by the team of neuro physicians, neurosurgeons, nurses and support staff supported by the best-in-class medical equipment earned Caritas the fame of the best neurological hospital in Kerala.

Caritas Hospital's Department of Neuro Sciences offers advanced neurology, neurosurgery, spine surgery, neuro-oncology and neuro-rehabilitation services.

This neurology hospital is a one-stop center for all neurological issues. It has inpatient and outpatient wings, a daycare unit, dedicated neuro ICUs, neurosurgery suites, interventional neuroradiology and the most advanced imaging facilities, including nuclear medicine.

The 24-hour emergency division caters to all types of neurological and neurosurgery emergencies, including complex neurotrauma and hyperacute management of stroke. It is another factor why this department makes Caritas the best neurology hospital in Kerala.
