Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Sukino raises $31 million Series B led by Bessemer to scale out‑of‑hospital care

 

'Care' is NOT RECOVERY!

This is the whole problem in stroke enumerated in one word; 'care'; NOT RECOVERY! 

Our non-existent stroke leadership should be demanding RECOVERY NOT 'CARE'!

My god, anyone in the business world would be fired immediately for managing or caring about something rather than delivering RESULTS. And this is why this is a complete fucking failure! This does nothing to guarantee recovery for survivors!

If your stroke medical 'professional'/hospital is touting 'care' it means they are a failure because they are delivering 'care'; NOT RECOVERY! I would never go to a failed hospital! Anytime I see the word 'care' associated with a stroke hospital; I immediately think fucking failure!

YOU have to get involved and change this failure mindset of 'care' to 100% RECOVERY! Survivors want RECOVERY, NOT 'CARE'!

I see nothing here that states going for 100% recovery! You need to create EXACT PROTOCOLS FOR THAT!

ASK SURVIVORS WHAT THEY WANT, THEY'LL NEVER RESPOND 'CARE'! This tyranny of low expectations has to be completely rooted out of any stroke conversation! I wouldn't go there because of such incompetency as not having 100% recovery protocols!

RECOVERY IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE!

GET THERE!

Sukino raises $31 million Series B led by Bessemer to scale out‑of‑hospital care

Bengaluru-based out‑of‑hospital care(NOT RECOVERY!) chain Sukino has raised $31 million in a Series B round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from Rainmatter, to expand its post‑acute and rehabilitative care(NOT RECOVERY!) network across India. The company, founded in 2016 by Rajinish and Shalini Menon, currently operates over 850 beds across 11 centres in Bengaluru, Kochi and Coimbatore and is profitable at the group level.

Targeting India’s rising stroke and rehab burden

India accounts for roughly 10% of global stroke cases annually, a share that is rising due to obesity, sedentary lifestyles, hypertension, stress and air pollution. Each stroke patient typically needs 6–8 weeks of multimodal rehabilitation, including physical, speech, occupational and psychological therapy after hospital treatment.

Sukino positions itself as the bridge between this extended care(NOT RECOVERY!)need and the growing willingness of Indian families to seek structured support, offering affordable, protocol-driven post‑acute care(NOT RECOVERY!) so patients can return to fuller, more independent lives.

850+ beds today, aggressive expansion ahead

Sukino’s 11 centres, typically located between major hospitals and residential hubs, primarily serve stroke patients but also admit those needing rehabilitation for neurological, orthopaedic and oncology conditions. The company has recorded 64% year‑on‑year growth in the past year, adding five centres, and now plans to expand to 22 additional centres over the next two years.

“With this milestone, we are one step closer to reimagining how India heals after serious illness, making world‑class rehabilitative care(NOT RECOVERY!) as accessible and accepted as hospital care(NOT RECOVERY!) itself,” said co‑founder and CEO Rajinish Menon. “Our vision is to build an institution where patients and their families can count on structured, compassionate recovery support that restores not just health, but dignity and independence.”

Powered by insurance tailwinds and changing family attitudes

The company’s growth is supported by two key tailwinds: expanding insurance coverage and shifting social norms.

  • More health plans now cover 60–90 days of structured recovery, reducing out‑of‑pocket costs and improving access to quality rehab care(NOT RECOVERY!).
  • Families are increasingly comfortable with institutional recovery, recognising that specialised facilities can deliver better outcomes than home‑based care(NOT RECOVERY!) alone after serious illness.

These trends are helping formal post‑acute care(NOT RECOVERY!) move from a niche option to a mainstream part of the patient journey.

Investors back single‑speciality, post‑discharge care(NOT RECOVERY!)

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Rajinish, Shalini and team,” said Vishal Gupta, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. He also added, “Their focus on protocol‑driven, empathy‑first support ensures high-quality care(NOT RECOVERY!) to patients who are at a tough and vulnerable point in their lives. Our belief in Sukino is rooted in our conviction that high-quality healthcare, especially in the single speciality space, will lead to better clinical care(NOT RECOVERY!) and outcomes for Indian consumers.”

Sharing his thesis on out‑of‑hospital care(NOT RECOVERY!), Rainmatter CEO Nitin Kamath said, “Most patients in India get medical attention for surgeries in hospitals, but there is a far greater need for continued care(NOT RECOVERY!) and support once they are discharged, especially for critical patients. Sukino is solving a real problem here by bridging the gap between hospital discharge and full recovery.” He added that Rainmatter Health is backing Sukino for the “next phase of the journey” as it scales a business that “also drives meaningful outcomes.”​
