Medicover Hospitals in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, has been awarded accreditation by the Quality and Accreditation Institute (QAI) for its Advanced Stroke Centre, marking a significant step in its pursuit of high-quality, globally aligned stroke care.
According to the official release, the hospital has built a streamlined and comprehensive stroke care framework. This includes rapid triage protocols, advanced imaging facilities, defined acute care pathways, a dedicated stroke unit, and coordinated multidisciplinary teams. Such an approach allows specialists to handle even complex cases effectively, ensuring quicker decisions, prompt treatment, and better patient outcomes.
Dr. Pawan Ojha, Director of Neuroscience said, “Stroke occurs due to a blockage or bleeding in the brain, with symptoms like sudden weakness, speech difficulty, or facial drooping, and can lead to lifetime disabilities such as paralysis, speech and language difficulties, and memory or cognitive problems, if left untreated. Stroke management requires a highly synchronized approach, with time as the most critical factor. At Medicover Hospitals, we have established a comprehensive acute stroke care pathway that ensures that patients receive immediate attention from the moment they arrive in the hospital. Starting from rapid diagnosis using advanced imaging to timely medical and neuro-interventional treatment, every step is designed to minimise brain damage and maximise recovery. The Quality and Accreditation Institute (QAI) is an apex body that certifies healthcare institutions for maintaining high standards of care, equivalent to global accreditation systems. This accreditation for Medicover Hospitals’ stroke care services reflects a well-organised, efficient system aligned with international standards. It highlights the hospital’s ability to deliver precise, well-coordinated, high-quality stroke care and its strength in managing even the most complex cases with speed and precision.”
The hospital also highlights the importance of structured rehabilitation and long-term recovery support for stroke patients.
Dr. Pawan Ojha, Director of Neurosciences, added, “Stroke care does not end with emergency treatment; it extends to post-stroke rehabilitation, aiming for long-term recovery. We focus on early intervention, patient education, empowerment, and neuro-rehabilitation support to help stroke-affected individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life. The QAI accreditation further motivates us to further enhance our services and continue delivering patient-centric care with precision and compassion.”
Dr Harish Naik, Neurosurgeon, Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, said, “Stroke is a medical emergency where every second matters, and timely intervention can make the difference between recovery and lifelong disability. We remain dedicated to improving outcomes through precision, speed, and compassionate neurological care.”
This recognition strengthens the hospital’s standing as a reliable centre for advanced stroke care in Navi Mumbai and nearby regions.
“With this recognition, the hospital strengthens its position as a trusted destination for advanced stroke care in Navi Mumbai and surrounding areas, ensuring that patients receive the right treatment at the right time,” said Sandip Joshi (Centre Head), Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai.
The leadership team sees the accreditation as a milestone in its ongoing commitment to excellence.
“Being recognised by QAI is a proud moment for our team. Our focus remains on providing reliable, advanced care that patients can trust during critical moments,” concluded Neeraj Lal, Regional Director for the Maharashtra and Karnataka Region at Medicover Hospitals.
The QAI accreditation reflects Medicover Hospitals’ strong clinical systems, coordinated care approach, and commitment to timely intervention. It further reinforces its role in delivering dependable, patient-focused stroke care in the region.
