About Dr. Jose Navarro

Dr. Jose Navarro is a dedicated neurologist associated with the Brain Center of the Philippines, Stroke Services, at the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center. His commitment to advancing stroke care and research is evident from his active collaborations and initiatives.

On May 21, 2021, he attended a virtual lecture by Prof. Adnan Qureshi titled Perihematomal Edema: a long history of research and therapeutic progress. The lecture opened doors to further collaboration with Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institute (ZQSI).

On June 3, 2021, their institution and ZQSI signed a Memorandum of Agreement. The collaboration was marked by a Neurosonology seminar featuring local and international speakers. Since then, both sides have co-published articles and co-authored with Neurology and Neurosurgery Intracerebral Hemorrhage (JR NICHE ZQSI).

Current efforts include a clinical trial on cilostazol for preventing vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured aneurysm and a systematic review on ultrasonography utilization. With active stroke specialist involvement, the collaboration continues to expand.

Dr. Navarro's contributions to stroke research and neurology continue to support meaningful international partnerships for improved patient outcomes.
