Verification Criteria

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.

Non-Negotiable

24-Hour CT Scan

CT scan must be available immediately at any hour — confirms stroke type within minutes of arrival. Without this, treatment cannot begin.
 
✓ Mandatory for verification

Non-Negotiable

Neurologist On Call

A qualified neurologist must be reachable 24/7 — not the next morning — to assess the patient and approve emergency treatment.
 
✓ Mandatory for verification

Non-Negotiable

Thrombolysis Capability

The hospital must be able to administer IV tPA (clot-dissolving medication) within the 4.5-hour treatment window. This can reverse a stroke.
 
✓ Mandatory for verification

Non-Negotiable

ICU / Stroke Unit

Post-treatment monitoring in a Neuro-ICU or dedicated stroke unit is essential to catch complications early and prevent secondary events.

✓ Mandatory for verification

Non-Negotiable

24/7 Emergency Medicine

24-hour emergency department with immediate capacity to receive, stabilise, and triage an acute stroke patient on arrival.
 
✓ Mandatory for verification

Advanced Capability

Mechanical Thrombectomy

Biplane Cath Lab for mechanical clot removal in large vessel occlusion — available at select centres only. For LVO strokes, this is life-changing.
 
★ Available at select hospitals
The most important rule: In a stroke emergency, go to the nearest stroke-ready hospital — not the one you think is “best.” Every minute of additional travel destroys approximately 1.9 million brain cells. Proximity and speed are the absolute priority.

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

❌Do Not Do This

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

Answers for 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), 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.
