Delhi gets its first brain health clinic; 10 more planned across city
NEW DELHI: (May 17) Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Singh on Saturday inaugurated the capital’s first dedicated brain health clinic at the Indira Gandhi Hospital in Dwarka, promising “district-level access" to neurological treatment and rehabilitation within the next year, officials said.
Set up under India's Brain Health Initiative with support from NITI Aayog and technical partner IHBAS, the clinic will offer screening and therapy for stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's, dementia, migraine and other disorders, along with counselling and tele-neurology links for follow-up care, a statement said.
“This is not just a facility, it is a mission. Whenever you face a brain-related problem, come here. Don't hide or delay treatment. Similar centres will be opened in every district,” Singh said.
