Thrombolysis therapy for stroke patients stressed

‘Unfortunately it remains underutilised in non-urban areas’
Madurai
Changing lifestyle has led to a daunting increase in the incidence and prevalence of stroke among population. The inequality in healthcare facilities available in rural, semi-urban and urban areas, social stigma, lack of awareness and financial constraints often result in higher morbidity and mortality due to stroke among patients living in the interior belts of the country.
For efficacy report, Apollo Reach Hospital in Karaikudi did thrombolysis therapy for 112 patients of acute ischaemic stroke between 2012 and 2021.
