Caring for Your Brain and Nervous System
Neurology is the medical field dedicated to diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves throughout your body. This intricate network controls everything you do, from thinking and feeling to moving and breathing. Neurological disorders are surprisingly common; for instance, globally, around 50 million people have epilepsy, and over 55 million live with dementia.
At Rajan Hospital, our expert neurology department is committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for a wide range of neurological conditions, ensuring you receive the best possible treatment for your brain and nerve health.
