Medicover Hospitals, Kharghar, Recognised by QAI for Excellence in Advanced Stroke Care Services
Navi Mumbai: Medicover Hospitals, Kharghar, has earned the prestigious QAI accreditation for its Advanced Stroke Centre, marking a major milestone in its commitment to delivering high-quality stroke care. This recognition validates that the hospital’s advanced stroke care services are aligned with international benchmarks. The hospital has established a robust system involving rapid triage, advanced imaging, acute care pathways, a dedicated stroke unit, and multidisciplinary teams working in seamless coordination. This integrated approach enables the hospital to handle even the most complex stroke cases efficiently, ensuring faster decision-making, care delivery, and improved patient outcomes.
Dr. Pawan Ojha, Director of Neuroscience said, “Stroke occurs due to a blockage or bleeding in the brain, with symptoms like sudden weakness, speech difficulty, or facial drooping, and can lead to lifetime disabilities such as paralysis, speech and language difficulties, and memory or cognitive problems, if left untreated. Stroke management requires a highly synchronized approach, with time as the most critical factor. At Medicover Hospitals, we have established a comprehensive acute stroke care pathway that ensures that patients receive immediate attention from the moment they arrive in the hospital. Starting from rapid diagnosis using advanced imaging to timely medical and neuro-interventional treatment, every step is designed to minimise brain damage and maximise recovery. The Quality and Accreditation Institute (QAI) is an apex body that certifies healthcare institutions for maintaining high standards of care, equivalent to global accreditation systems. This accreditation for Medicover Hospitals’ stroke care services reflects a well-organised, efficient system aligned with international standards. It highlights the hospital’s ability to deliver precise, well-coordinated, high-quality stroke care and its strength in managing even the most complex cases with speed and precision.”
Dr. Pawan Ojha, Director of Neurosciences, “Stroke care does not end with emergency treatment; it extends to post-stroke rehabilitation, aiming for long-term recovery. We focus on early intervention, patient education, empowerment, and neuro-rehabilitation support to help stroke-affected individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life. The QAI accreditation further motivates us to further enhance our services and continue delivering patient-centric care with precision and compassion.”
Dr Harish Naik, Neurosurgeon, Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, said, Stroke is a medical emergency where every second matters, and timely intervention can make the difference between recovery and lifelong disability. We remain dedicated to improving outcomes through precision, speed, and compassionate neurological care.”
