Credihealth finds Neurosurgeon in Kolkata, saving a young woman's life

The nervous system causes both the voluntary and involuntary actions in a human being's body and consists of two main parts- central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. These comprise of the spinal cord, the brain and nerves that transmit signals to different parts of the body.

The nervous system carries some vital and diverse functions in the human body. The easiest way to understand how the nervous system works is to think of the brain and spinal chord, together, as a computer. This bodily computer of our body enables all the other functions of our body- internal and external. This is the reason that neurological diseases in our bodies need immediate attention, otherwise they have huge negative impact on our bodies.
 The specialists who attend to the diseases, disorders and injuries of the nervous systems are neurologists and neurosurgeons. Finding a good, experienced specialist in this field may be difficult. A research some time ago revealed that India has a shortage neurologists and neurosurgeons, with most of them residing and practicing in Metropolitan cities. That leaves just handful of doctors to attend to people in rural areas and suburbs.

Zahaan Malik who lives with his family in Kolkata, faced a similar issue last month. While his wife, Amani, was driving back from work, she met with a terrible accident. She was immediately taken to the hospital where it was revealed that she had suffered and needed a specialist. The small hospital where she was being treated did not have the right doctor or the required equipment. That is when Zahaan called up Credihealth and asked us to find the nearest best neurosurgeon in Kolkata. We found that the closest specialist was just across the street to them and advised Zahaan to have Amani transferred there for treatment.
