A member asked:

Which hospitals treat bacterial meningitis the best?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tertiary centers: Tertiary centers generally offer a wide variety of services and specialists, and are often teaching hospitals (have residency programs). People with bacterial meningitis are best treated in facilities with an intensive care unit and Infectious Disease specialists. Best wishes.
