Steve Biko Hospital Recognised for Stroke Care
Story 1
Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria has become the first public healthcare facility in South Africa to receive Essential Stroke Centre recognition from the World Stroke Organisation.
The recognition means the hospital is meeting international standards for stroke care, including quick diagnosis, timely treatment, patient safety and ongoing improvements in care.
Brain imaging now takes around 18 to 26 minutes after patients arrive, while artificial intelligence assisted scans and remote specialist consultations help doctors make faster treatment decisions.
The hospital has also maintained its WSO Angels Diamond Status for three consecutive years.
