National Stroke Center to be established in Mulleriyawa hospital - Sri Lanka

Time to contact them and DEMAND  that the goal of the hospital is 100% recovery for all stroke survivors. Anything less and they aren't even trying for the best interests of their stroke patients.  Dumbed down goals for the doctors and hospital are not to be tolerated. YOU have to be in charge of the goals not the self serving interests of the stroke medical professionals.
