Neurological diseases are on the rise and they pose immense challenges for medical science. Early detection and treatment are required for effective results.
Being at the forefront of neurological sciences, the Parkway group has built an outstanding reputation in the region for its neurological expertise.
Our team is highly skilled in performing all types of neurosurgery. Patients receive fully integrated multidisciplinary care from our experienced team of specialists, therapists and nurses.
Patients are assured of the greatest chance for a successful outcome, as our team approach, backed by the latest medical procedures, treatment programmes and imaging technology, has proven to be highly effective.
Comprehensive Treatment
Our hospitals provide comprehensive and coordinated multidisciplinary care under one roof to patients with neurological problems, ranging from treatment for stroke, fits and brain tumour and injury to treatment for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Our services include advanced diagnostic tests, neurosurgical procedures, specialised post-operative care, stroke prevention and rehabilitation.

State-of-the-Art Equipment
In Stereotactic Radiosurgery or Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT), a non-invasive and safe technique that has shown good results, our hospitals use modern Linear Accelerator (LINAC) based systems for treating intra-cranial tumours. Hospital stay and recovery time is reduced as hospitalisation is not needed for these procedures.
In Stereotactic Radiosurgery, a single high dosage of ionising radiation is delivered to the tumour
SRT (Stereotactic Radiotherapy) is used with a number of fractions of radiation for larger tumours, and where the tumour is very close to a critical organ, such as the optic nerve
