What Makes a Hospital Stroke-Ready?
Not every hospital can treat a stroke. A stroke-ready hospital has specific infrastructure, equipment, and specialist availability to diagnose and begin treatment within the critical time window. Going to the wrong facility first wastes irreplaceable minutes.

Decision Framework
How to Choose the Right Hospital During a Stroke
When stroke strikes, one rule dominates: go to the nearest verified stroke-ready hospital immediately. Here is a structured guide for patients, families, and referring doctors.
✅ Do This
- Go to the nearest stroke-ready hospital first — every minute counts, always
- Call 108 and let emergency services advise on the nearest suitable facility
- Choose a hospital with thrombolysis capability if within 4.5 hours of symptom onset
- For large vessel strokes, prioritise centres with thrombectomy (Cath Lab) capability
- Tell the emergency team the exact time symptoms started — write it down
- Use the NeuroWellness referral form if coordinating a doctor-to-doctor transfer
- Pre-save emergency numbers before any crisis happens — right now
❌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 — go immediately and call en route
- Do not assume a large hospital is automatically stroke-ready — verify capabilities
- Do not give the patient food, water, or medication before reaching hospital
- Do not search for this page in the middle of a stroke emergency
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. Speed over preference. Always.

Common Questions
Stroke Hospital FAQs – South 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), Manipal Hospital (Sarjapur Road), and Kauvery Hospital (Electronic City & Marathahalli). Each has confirmed CT scan availability, neurology specialists, and emergency stroke treatment capability. See the full structured listing above with addresses and contacts.
A stroke-ready hospital must have: 24-hour CT scan availability, a neurologist on call 24/7, the ability to administer thrombolysis (IV tPA) 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 for 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, significantly reducing treatment delay on arrival.
Go to the nearest verified stroke-ready hospital — proximity is the primary rule. 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 offer additional treatment options. Never stop at a clinic without stroke treatment capability on the way.
