Neurology

What is Neurology?

Neurology is a specialised branch of medicine dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spine, peripheral nerves, and muscles. Neurologists are medical experts specially trained to provide comprehensive care for neurological disorders, ranging from common headaches to complex neurological diseases like epilepsy and stroke.

At Busamed Hospital Group, our experienced neurologists deliver advanced care tailored to each patient’s individual needs. Whether through precise diagnostic procedures, personalised treatment plans, or ongoing management strategies, we strive to restore function, alleviate symptoms, and greatly improve our patients’ quality of life.
