In India, a traumatic brain injury patient after treatment is sent home directly though he is not fully cured and needs to undergo a neuro rehabilitation therapy - physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy - that helps them in coming out of the trauma,' said Prasad.

Tarun Lala, neurophysiotherapist at Apollo Hospital, said: 'A patient recovering from severe brain injury might go into depression or show some unusual behaviour. So we need proper counselling and motivational exercises to bring them into the mainstream.'

The IHIF also launched a neuro rehabilitation ambulance for the Delhi and neighbouring regions.

'We have tied up with some small hospitals in the capital and national capital region (NCR) for providing mobile rehab service to patients. The ambulance equipped with several physiotherapy and other instruments will visit different areas for providing rehabilitation services to brain injury patients,' said Lala.
