Gurdaspur, July 21, 2025 – In response to the rising number of neurological disorders and the serious complications associated with them, Abrol Hospital, a unit of EMC Hospitals, Gurdaspur, has launched a comprehensive awareness campaign. The primary objective of this initiative is to educate the public about diseases related to the brain and nervous system, and to encourage early detection and treatment.
The campaign is being led by Senior Neurologist Dr. Ishtiyaq, a seasoned expert with years of experience in the field of neurology. According to him, millions of people in India are affected each year by conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, migraine, and neuropathy, yet many lose their quality of life due to late diagnosis and lack of proper treatment.
Dr. Ishtiyaq emphasized that neurological diseases often progress silently, and their early symptoms are frequently ignored. Recurring headaches, numbness in limbs, sudden dizziness, loss of balance, memory issues, and speech difficulties can all be warning signs of a serious neurological condition. Early detection can make treatment easier and help individuals maintain a normal lifestyle. However, the lack of awareness in the community often worsens the severity of these illnesses.
As part of this initiative, Abrol Hospital, Gurdaspur plans to focus especially on rural and semi-urban areas, where access to healthcare information is limited. The hospital will organize free monthly neuro-screening camps, consultation sessions, and health education programs. Furthermore, awareness sessions will be conducted in schools, colleges, and through community organizations to educate youth about the importance of neurological health.
Dr. Ishtiyaq also stressed that there should be no shame or fear associated with neurological issues. “These are just like diabetes or heart diseases—treatable if addressed on time,” he said. He urged the public to stay informed, get regular check-ups, and never ignore or hide symptoms. “Timely awareness is true protection.”
Abrol Hospital remains committed to advancing neurological health and will continue to inspire the community towards better care and prevention. Under the banner of “Every Mind Protected, Every Life Empowered,” this campaign marks a significant step toward not only preventing neurological diseases but also awakening a new sense of health consciousness across society.
