Full-time neurology service to begin at Ernakulam General Hospital

The Ernakulam General Hospital will offer a full-time neurology service from next week. Dr. Prebhudas R., Superintendent, said the service is being offered for the first time. Earlier, the facility was available only once in a week.

With the launch of the new facility, specialised treatment and diagnostic services for neurological disorders will become more accessible. It will also help economically disadvantaged patients and the general public access neurological care through the government healthcare system, according to a communication.

Patients with a referral slip can book a consultation with the neurologist either directly or online, the communication said.
