Stroke affects 1 in 4 adults over 25. Every minute of untreated stroke costs approximately 1.9 million brain cells. Our QAI-recognised Stroke Centre is ready around the clock — but you must act immediately on seeing any sign.
Sudden loss of balance or coordination? Unexplained dizziness or trouble walking?
Sudden blurred or double vision, or loss of vision in one or both eyes?
One side drooping or numb? Ask them to smile — is it uneven?
One arm weak or numb? Ask both arms up — does one drift down?
Slurred speech, unable to speak, or can't understand? Stroke can impair language instantly.
If you see ANY BE-FAST sign — call immediately. Do not wait. Do not drive to a pharmacy first.
KG Hospital's Brain & Spine Centre is Coimbatore's most comprehensive and best-equipped centre for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and neurosurgical conditions. For patients and families seeking the best neurologist or neurosurgeon in Coimbatore, KG Hospital offers a level of clinical depth and technological infrastructure that is unmatched in the region — and comparable to the leading centres in Chennai, Bangalore, and Mumbai.
KG Hospital's neurosurgery team achieved a landmark recognised globally: the world's first Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery (MINS) performed on a 22-day-old premature infant — the youngest patient ever to undergo MINS anywhere in the world. This required extraordinary surgical precision, the TIVATO 700 advanced surgical microscope, Stryker Neuronavigation, and an experienced team capable of operating safely on the most fragile of patients. This achievement is not merely a historical milestone — it is evidence of the daily standard of technical excellence at KG Hospital.
Stroke is a medical emergency where every minute counts — approximately 1.9 million brain cells die per minute of untreated ischaemic stroke. KG Hospital holds QAI recognition as an Advanced Stroke Centre, with a 24-hour dedicated stroke team, a Biplanar Neuro Cath Lab (Siemens) for mechanical thrombectomy, IV thrombolysis capability within 4.5 hours of onset, and a dedicated 7-bed Neuro ICU with ventilators and intensivists for post-stroke critical care.
KG Hospital's neurology department treats the complete spectrum of neurological conditions: stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, migraines, peripheral neuropathy, and paediatric neurology including child epilepsy and hydrocephalus. The department uses 128-slice CT scanning, 1.5T MRI, Nicolet Viking NCS/EMG, Galileo and Nicolet EEG systems, and Transcranial Doppler (TCD) for comprehensive neurodiagnostics. A specialised rehabilitation programme covering physiotherapy, speech therapy, and cognitive therapy completes the continuum of care.

All procedures are supported by a dedicated neurosurgery operation theatre, CUSA, brain endoscope, Medtronic and Stryker drill systems, and a dedicated C-arm — with post-operative care in the 7-bed Neuro ICU.
KG Hospital is one of the best spine surgery hospitals in Coimbatore, offering minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) for lumbar, cervical, and dorsal disc prolapse; spinal stenosis; spondylolisthesis; spinal fusion (TLIF, PLIF); Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF); laminectomy; foraminotomy; vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty for compression fractures; spinal deformity correction (scoliosis, kyphosis); Arnold Chiari malformation and syringomyelia surgery; spinal cord tumour removal; TB Spine; and spinal trauma.
