Medanta – The Medicity has intensified its focus on neuro-rehabilitation services as neurological disorders and stroke cases continue to rise across India, particularly in the Northeast region. The hospital, ranked India’s best hospital by Newsweek in 2026, said structured rehabilitation is emerging as a critical component in long-term neurological recovery. Highlighting the growing healthcare challenge, Medanta shared the case of Pranjal, a young professional from Guwahati, who suffered a stroke despite leading a healthy lifestyle. Doctors later found he had severely uncontrolled hypertension coupled with high stress and a family history of stroke. A year after the incident, he continues to face mobility and speech difficulties, underlining the financial and emotional burden neurological conditions place on families.
Dr. Jyoti Sehgal, Director of Neurology at Medanta – The Medicity, said rehabilitation involving physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and psychological support must be tailored to each patient for sustainable recovery. She added that neuroplasticity allows recovery even months or years after a neurological event through consistent rehabilitation.
