The facility boasts a fully integrated stroke management program, featuring:
- Emergency Stroke Response Team available 24×7 for immediate intervention.
- Intravenous Thrombolysis (IV tPA) for eligible patients suffering ischemic strokes, delivering clot-dissolving medication to restore blood flow.
- Mechanical Thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions, utilizing advanced neurointerventional techniques to physically remove blockages.
- Dedicated Stroke Intensive Care and Monitoring Units, supported by state-of-the-art cardiology and laboratory services to identify stroke causes and prevent recurrences.
- Comprehensive Stroke Rehabilitation, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to help patients regain independence.
"Stroke is a true medical emergency," said a spokesperson from KIMS Hospitals. "Timely recognition and immediate hospital treatment can make the difference between complete recovery and lifelong disability. Our team at KIMS ensures that every patient gets access to the latest evidence-based therapies—from clot-busting drugs to advanced thrombectomy, to recurrence prevention therapies and rehabilitation."
To empower the public, KIMS is promoting the internationally recognized F.A.S.T. acronym for stroke symptom awareness:
- Face drooping
- Arm weakness
- Speech difficulty
- Time to act fast
If any of these signs appear—even if they seem temporary—call emergency services and head to a stroke-ready hospital without delay. Every minute counts, as brain cells begin dying within moments of a stroke.
KIMS Hospitals urges community members to spread the word: early detection saves lives. For more information on stroke prevention and services, visit KIMS Secunderabad or consult your healthcare provider.
