The center boasts specialized medical equipment, namely a state-of-the-art Biplane Interventional & Angiography Suite designed specifically for the prompt diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke, and manufactured by leading medical equipment company Siemens Healthineers. This interventional unit is unique in its sophistication and efficiency. It can evaluate both the brain and blocked blood vessels, allowing doctors to make a diagnosis, administer lifesaving drugs and perform necessary procedures in the same interventional suite, all within the critical first hours of onset. The Comprehensive Stroke Center at LAU Medical Center-Rizk Hospital also includes a dedicated four-bed intensive-care unit and an integrated team of three full-time neurologists, three interventional surgeons, three critical care specialists, and a team of anesthesiologists and neurosurgeons, available to ensure that stroke patients receive the best possible multidisciplinary care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The center’s location in the LAU Medical Center-Rizk Hospital complex provides patients with quick access to the high-tech resources on site, including a helicopter pad, which can get patients to the help they need when every second counts. Patients also benefit from the hospital’s strong relationships with rehabilitation centers across the country.
