What Makes a Hospital Stroke-Ready?
Not every hospital can treat a stroke. A stroke-ready hospital is one that has the specific infrastructure, equipment, and specialist availability needed to diagnose a stroke within minutes and begin treatment within the critical time window. Going to the wrong facility first wastes irreplaceable time.
A verified stroke-ready hospital must have all of the following:
24-Hour CT Scan
CT scan must be available immediately at any hour — this confirms stroke type within minutes of arrival.
Non-negotiable ✓
Neurologist On Call
A qualified neurologist must be reachable 24/7 — not the next morning — to assess and approve treatment.
Non-negotiable ✓
Thrombolysis Capability
The hospital must be able to administer IV tPA (clot-dissolving medication) within the 4.5-hour window.
Non-negotiable ✓
ICU / Stroke Unit
Post-treatment monitoring in a neuro-ICU or dedicated stroke unit is essential to catch complications early.
Non-negotiable ✓
Emergency Medicine
24-hour emergency department with capacity to immediately receive and stabilise an acute stroke patient.
Non-negotiable ✓
Thrombectomy (Advanced)
Biplane Cath Lab for mechanical clot removal in large vessel occlusion — available at select centres only.
Advanced capability ✓
⚠️ The most important rule: In a stroke emergency, go to the nearest stroke-ready hospital — not the one you perceive to be ‘best.’ Every minute of additional travel destroys approximately 1.9 million brain cells. Proximity and speed are the priority.

How to Choose the Right Stroke Hospital in Bengaluru
When stroke strikes, the choice is simple: go to the nearest verified stroke-ready hospital immediately. However, there are situations — especially in doctor-to-doctor referrals — where the choice of facility matters. Here is a structured guide.
✅ Do This
● Go to the nearest stroke-ready hospital first — every minute counts
● Call 108 and let them advise on nearest suitable facility
● Choose a hospital with thrombolysis capability if within 4.5 hours of onset
● For large vessel strokes, prioritise centres with thrombectomy (Cath Lab) capability
● Tell the emergency team the exact time symptoms started
● Use our referral form if coordinating a doctor-to-doctor transfer
❌ Do Not Do This
● Do not travel further to a ‘preferred’ hospital if a closer one is stroke-ready
● Do not stop at a clinic or diagnostic centre without stroke treatment capability
● Do not wait for a family member to arrive before leaving for hospital
● Do not call multiple hospitals to compare before going — go immediately
● Do not assume a large hospital is automatically stroke-ready — verify
The golden rule: In stroke, the fastest facility that can treat you is the right facility. A stroke-ready hospital 10 minutes away is better than a ‘better’ hospital 30 minutes away.

Stroke Hospital FAQs – South Bengaluru
Answers to the most common questions from patients, families, and referring doctors about stroke hospitals in Bengaluru.
Verified stroke-ready hospitals in South and broader Bengaluru include Aster RV Hospital (JP Nagar), Fortis Hospital (Bannerghatta Road), Sakra World Hospital (Devarabeesanahalli), Gleneagles BGS Hospital (Kengeri), and Manipal Hospital (Sarjapur Road). Each has CT scan availability, neurology specialists, and emergency stroke treatment capability. See the full structured listing on this page with addresses and contacts.
A stroke-ready hospital must have: 24-hour CT scan availability, a neurologist on call, the ability to administer thrombolysis within the 4.5-hour window, an ICU or stroke unit for post-treatment monitoring, and a 24/7 emergency department. Advanced centres also offer mechanical thrombectomy (Biplane Cath Lab) for large vessel occlusions. Confirm these capabilities before an emergency happens.
The most important factor is not which hospital is ‘best’ but which verified stroke-ready hospital you can reach fastest. Every minute of additional travel destroys approximately 1.9 million brain cells. Aster RV Hospital (JP Nagar), Fortis Bannerghatta Road, and Sakra World Hospital all have established neuroscience centres with emergency stroke protocols. Go to the nearest verified facility immediately — do not travel further to a preferred hospital.
Call 108 — the free national ambulance service in Karnataka — immediately. You can also call 112 (national emergency number). Tell the operator you suspect a stroke and provide the patient’s location and the time symptoms began. Ambulance teams can begin assessment en route and pre-alert the hospital stroke team, reducing treatment delay on arrival.
Go to the nearest verified stroke-ready hospital — proximity is the primary rule. However, ensure the hospital has CT scan availability, a neurologist on call, and thrombolysis capability. For large vessel strokes (if time permits and clinical coordination is possible), centres with mechanical thrombectomy (Cath Lab) offer additional treatment options. Do not stop at a clinic without stroke treatment capability on the way.
Use the NeuroWellness digital stroke referral form at /stroke-referral-network/. Submit patient details including name, age, symptoms, time of onset, current hospital, and contact number. The form triggers an immediate email notification to the NeuroWellness coordination team. For urgent coordination, call directly. Note: the referral form is for triage coordination only — not emergency response.
