A stroke, also known as a brain attack, occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted due to a clot (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). This can lead to paralysis, speech impairment, memory loss, and other neurological complications. At Anil Baghi Hospital, our expert neurologist and stroke specialist Dr. Vaishali Baghi provide advanced emergency stroke care, rehabilitation, and paralysis management to improve recovery outcomes.
