Collaboration in Stroke Management

Collaboration in Stroke Management

As stroke cases continue to rise across Malaysia, the need for timely and multidisciplinary care has become critical in improving patient recovery. At Gleneagles Hospital Johor, we offer cutting-edge stroke care that integrates the expertise of radiology and internal medicine, ensuring that patients receive the best treatment from the moment they arrive.

Our stroke care team, featuring Dr. Norbelinda Norhatta, Internal Medicine Specialist, and Dr. Md Yuzairif Md Yusof, Radiologist, collaborates to deliver precise, comprehensive management—from rapid diagnosis to advanced treatments.

Radiology: A Critical Component in Stroke Diagnosis

In stroke care, every second counts. Swift diagnosis can mean the difference between full recovery and long-term disability. Our radiology department, led by Dr. Md Yuzairif Md Yusof, uses cutting-edge technology such as CT scans, MRI, and Doppler Ultrasound to quickly and accurately determine the type of stroke—whether ischemic or hemorrhagic. Immediate diagnosis is crucial for making informed treatment decisions.

In cases of ischemic stroke, Dr. Md Yuzairif plays a crucial role in guiding mechanical thrombectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that removes blood clots, dramatically improving recovery when performed promptly.

Internal Medicine: Comprehensive Stroke Care at Every Stage

Following a diagnosis, Dr. Norbelinda Norhatta and her internal medicine team take over the acute management of stroke patients. In ischemic stroke cases, they assess the suitability of thrombolysis, a clot-busting treatment that can restore blood flow to the brain if administered within a critical 3 to 4.5-hour window. This early intervention prevents brain damage and boosts recovery outcomes.

Beyond acute care, Dr. Norbelinda also focuses on managing underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol—key factors that often contribute to stroke. With a combination of medication management and lifestyle interventions, she and her team aim to prevent future strokes and support long-term health.

Collaboration for Superior Stroke Care

The strength of Gleneagles Hospital Johor lies in our seamless collaboration between specialties. With Dr. Norbelinda’s expertise in acute care and long-term disease management, and Dr. Md Yuzairif’s precision in radiological diagnosis and intervention, every stroke patient receives world-class care.

This multidisciplinary approach underscores our hospital’s commitment to offering comprehensive stroke care, using the latest technology and treatment methods for optimal recovery.

Investing in the Future of Stroke Care

At Gleneagles Hospital Johor, we are committed to continuously improving stroke outcomes. Our 24/7 stroke response team ensures that patients receive immediate attention, while ongoing investments in advanced imaging technology and training ensure our specialists remain at the forefront of stroke treatment innovations.

By combining expert clinical care, advanced imaging, and a patient-centered approach, we are dedicated to reducing the impact of stroke and offering hope for better recovery to patients and their families.
