Dr. Arun Garg is a visionary and accomplished neurologist who currently heads the stroke neurology department at Medanta. His dedication to the field is evident in his ambitious "brain rescue" program, which aims to provide immediate and long-term care for individuals affected by stroke. This pioneering initiative covers the entire northern region of India, with its epicenter at Medanta, and is the first of its kind in the country to adhere to international healthcare standards. Dr. Garg has revolutionized stroke management with the development of a three-tier system connecting primary and secondary brain rescue centers to the hub hospital, Medanta-The Medicity in Gurgaon, via an efficient network of ambulances and telemedicine.

A leader in acute stroke care, Dr. Garg has been at the forefront of introducing thrombolysis in this part of the country, significantly improving treatment outcomes for stroke patients. His passion for advancing stroke care has taken him to the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass), USA, where he has fostered collaborations in stroke prevention, education, treatment, rehabilitation, and research. Back in India, his approach goes beyond acute management to include post-stroke neuro-rehabilitation, which benefits from the expertise of a multidisciplinary team—a service fully operational at Medanta under his guidance.

Dr. Garg is also the creative force behind the "Essentials of Acute Stroke Treatment (EAST)," a training course designed for physicians and healthcare providers in primary and secondary level hospitals. This initiative reflects his commitment to empowering medical professionals with the knowledge and skills to provide effective stroke care. His passion for teaching and training extends beyond these programs, as he has contributed extensively to both national and international journals, sharing his insights and expertise with the global medical community.

With an impressive career that includes the development of neurology services at Max Hospital, Delhi, Dr. Arun Garg's contributions to stroke care have been transformative.
