⚠ Read before use
This tool provides educational and guideline-based decision support. It does not replace clinical judgment or specialist consultation. It does not perform imaging interpretation, does not know your patient's full history, and cannot account for every clinical nuance. Management decisions remain the responsibility of the treating clinician, at the bedside, with the full clinical picture in front of them.
A short list of verified major referral centres, not a live directory. Numbers were correct at time of writing — always confirm before transfer, and use your own facility's referral network first if one exists.
⚠ Bugando's number is from a third-party directory, not confirmed directly against the hospital's own site — double-check before relying on it. If you maintain this list, replace it with numbers you've personally verified.

⚠ Reminder
This is guideline-based educational support, not a diagnosis. It does not replace clinical judgment or specialist consultation. Always correlate with the full clinical picture and escalate to a senior clinician or neurosurgical service when in doubt.
