National Hospital Stroke and Rehabilitation Center

National Hospital Launches Center of Excellence: The First Stroke and Rehabilitation Center in Eastern Indonesia. Stroke Rehabilitation is a service designed to support patients’ motor recovery and enhance their overall function and quality of life.

Who Needs Stroke Rehabilitation?

1. Anyone who has had a stroke
2. Patients at risk of developing complications
3. Patients with medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes who require rehabilitation to prevent another stroke

Why is Rehabilitation Needed?

Rehabilitation is a crucial step in the recovery process. It can begin as soon as the patient's medical condition is stable—ideally within 24 to 28 hours after the stroke.

Rehabilitation helps patients to:

1. Restore lost functions
2. Prevent complications
3. Improve quality of life
4. Develop new ways of doing things

National Hospital’s rehabilitation programs are individualized and tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs, typically based on the severity and type of disability experienced.

The main goal of the Center of Excellence for Stroke and Rehabilitation at National Hospital is to help patients regain independence, thereby improving their quality of life by minimizing limitations in daily activities.
