Advanced care for disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system from rapid stroke intervention and epilepsy management to complex neurosurgical procedures.
Brain & Nervous System Care
Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the nervous system encompassing the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular junctions. Neurological conditions range from the acutely life-threatening stroke, status epilepticus, meningitis, brain tumours to the chronically disabling: Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, dementia, and peripheral neuropathies. No other specialty demands such broad clinical knowledge combined with precise anatomical reasoning. A neurologist must diagnose invisible diseases using clinical examination, imaging, and electrophysiology, often within minutes when the brain is at risk.
The past two decades have been transformative for neurology. Mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel stroke, immunotherapies for autoimmune encephalitis and MS, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease, and minimally invasive neurosurgery have fundamentally changed outcomes for patients. But these breakthroughs are only meaningful if the infrastructure imaging, cath labs, trained neurologists reaches the right places in time. That is the gap MNR Hospital was built to close.
The Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at MNR Hospital is anchored by a dedicated 24/7 stroke unit with direct-to-CT protocols, thrombolysis capability, and neuroradiology interpretation around the clock. Time is brain and we have engineered our systems so that the door-to-needle time for eligible stroke patients is consistently within national targets. Our neurologists manage the full breadth of neurological disease in both inpatient and outpatient settings, with specialised clinics for epilepsy, headache, movement disorders, and neuromuscular disease.
Our neurosurgery programme covers elective and emergency procedures including craniotomies for tumour resection, ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement for hydrocephalus, spinal surgeries for disc prolapse and stenosis, and decompression procedures. Our operating theatres are equipped with neuronavigation and intraoperative monitoring. The neurology ward includes a dedicated monitoring bay for post-operative neurosurgery patients and a neuro-ICU equipped for patients requiring intensive neurological monitoring and ventilatory support.
Recovery from a neurological event whether a stroke, spinal injury, or brain surgery is often a long journey. MNR Hospital's neuro-rehabilitation team works alongside our neurologists and neurosurgeons to deliver structured physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy, beginning from the acute phase. We set realistic recovery goals with patients and families, support long-term follow-up for chronic neurological conditions, and provide community education about recognising stroke warning signs. Because in neurology, prevention and early recognition save more lives than any intervention.
Sudden loss of brain function due to ischaemia or haemorrhage.
Recurrent seizures requiring long-term management.
Progressive movement disorder affecting dopamine pathways.
Primary headache disorders including cluster headache.
Primary and metastatic tumours requiring surgery or oncology.
Prolapsed discs causing pain, weakness or paralysis.
Damage to peripheral nerves causing numbness or pain.
Progressive cognitive decline including Alzheimer's disease.
Our neurologists and neurosurgeons bring the precision, empathy, and experience needed to manage some of the most complex conditions in medicine.
Sudden weakness, severe headache, confusion, or vision changes these need immediate evaluation. MNR Medicity's neurology team is available 24/7.
