The Emergency Pathway

How We Handle Crisis

Rapid Arrival & Triage

Upon arrival, specially trained triage nurses immediately assess the severity of the patient's condition to prioritize life-saving care.

Resuscitation & Stabilization

For severe trauma, the immediate focus is strictly on securing the airway, stabilizing breathing, and controlling severe bleeding or shock.

Emergency Diagnostics

Once stable, the patient rapidly undergoes necessary X-rays, CT scans, or emergency bloodwork to identify all underlying injuries.

Acute Intervention

Based on diagnostics, the medical team initiates the required treatment—whether it involves emergency surgery, casting, or critical medication.

ICU or Ward Transfer

After emergency treatment, the patient is safely transferred to a specialized Intensive Care Unit or a general ward for continuous monitoring and recovery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I do in a medical emergency?

Call our 24/7 emergency number immediately or proceed directly to our Accident & Emergency department. Do not attempt to drive if you are experiencing severe chest pain, heavy bleeding, or impaired vision.

What is triage?

Triage is the process of rapidly evaluating patients as they arrive in the emergency department to ensure that those with the most life-threatening conditions receive treatment first, rather than on a first-come, first-served basis.

Do you handle pediatric emergencies?

Yes. We have specialized pediatric emergency protocols and immediate access to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) to handle trauma and acute illnesses in infants and children.

Are surgeons available at night?

Yes, we maintain a fully equipped, on-call surgical team, including trauma, orthopedic, and general surgeons, who are ready to perform emergency life-saving procedures 24 hours a day.

Can you handle obstetric emergencies?

Absolutely. Our emergency department works in seamless coordination with our specialized high-risk obstetric wing to manage pregnancy-related emergencies, ectopic pregnancies, and urgent deliveries.

What should I bring to the emergency department?

If possible, bring a list of your current medications, any known allergies, a summary of your medical history, and your identification. However, do not delay seeking critical care to gather these items.

How is pain managed in the emergency room?

Pain relief is a primary focus during initial stabilization. Our emergency physicians promptly assess pain levels and administer appropriate analgesics to ensure patient comfort while diagnostics are performed.

What happens after initial emergency treatment?

Once a patient is stabilized, they may be discharged with follow-up instructions, admitted to a general hospital ward for observation, or transferred to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for critical ongoing care.
