Mysore/Mysuru: Reinforcing its commitment to neurological excellence and preventive healthcare, Apollo BGS Hospitals, Mysuru, hosted “Apollo Neuro Conclave – Stroke Update 2026” on May 17 at Club Mahindra Golden Landmark Hotel in Mysuru, bringing together leading neurologists, healthcare professionals and medical experts for a high-impact academic forum focused on stroke prevention, early recognition and advanced stroke management.

Organised under the Apollo Institute of Neurosciences, the Conclave served as a platform for knowledge exchange and clinical discussions aimed at strengthening stroke care and improving patient outcomes.

The event carried special significance as it formed part of the Indian Stroke Association’s centenary initiative on stroke treatment and awareness, a nationwide academic movement designed to advance stroke education and promote awareness among healthcare professionals and the public.

Apollo BGS Hospitals, Mysuru, is among the select centres participating in this prestigious initiative and 3rd in Karnataka and 8th programme in India to host this important CME.

Apollo BGS Hospitals also commemorated and launched “100 Years of Cerebral Angiography,” celebrating a century of advancement in neurovascular imaging that has revolutionised the diagnosis and treatment of stroke and cerebrovascular disorders worldwide.

Dr. Vikram Huded, President of the Indian Stroke Association, underscored the importance of collaborative efforts in strengthening stroke care systems and improving access to advanced stroke treatment.

The Conclave emphasised several critical priorities in the fight against stroke: Strengthening stroke prevention and awareness; Promoting early recognition of stroke symptoms; Encouraging timely treatment within golden window period; Reducing stroke-related disability and long-term societal burden; Building advanced stroke-ready hospitals with integrated clinical expertise

Speaking on the occasion, N. G. Bharateesha Reddy, Senior Vice President – Rest of Karnataka, Apollo Hospitals,  said, “Knowledge that saves lives and prevention that protects futures must remain at the centre of stroke care. Brain is one of the most vital organs of human body and unlike many other systems, it cannot regenerate once damaged. During a stroke, lakhs of neurons can be lost within minutes, making prevention, early recognition and timely intervention extremely critical. Through this Conclave, we aim to strengthen awareness, encourage preventive screening where clinically indicated and build stronger stroke-ready healthcare systems.”
