DAFH's Stroke Unit is the ONLY one of its kind in Egypt and the only center that administers TPA (Alteplase) to induce thrombolysis in ischemic stroke within 60 minutes of the patient's arrival to the Emergency Room. The 60-minute window is an international protocol that's adopted by the world's most prestigious stroke and cerebrovascular units and institutions. Our Stroke Unit is also the only one that performs endovascular therapy for stroke patients.
