About
With the plan to deliver high quality and patient-centric emergency care, the management started the Department of Emergency Medicine. The department encompasses IPD, OPD, NICU, PICU, Library, Museum, Department Events, and Research Lab.
The methodology of care delivery is guided by the core principle of Emergency Medicine: “Treat first that kills first.” The academic programme is structured so that right from the beginning, resident doctors under training learn to think in an algorithmic manner. Their modus operandi is based on the framework provided by the time-tested and dynamically updated strategies from ATLS, ACLS, PALS, and NALS, which all postgraduate residents are expected to be certified with before completing their training.
The diagnostic and therapeutic approach is executed in a manner that is well-thought-out yet swift, extensive yet resource-efficient. Emergency Medicine acts as the unfaltering anchoring foundation on which the patient’s entire prognosis is built. Equipped with state-of-the-art point-of-care diagnostics and easy access to advanced laboratory and radiology services, the department truly stands as a testament to what a modern-day Emergency Department should embody.

Facilities
1. Casualty Services
We have a casualty well-equipped with 3 trolley cum beds for triage and 30 bedded emergency wards for triage to handle varied emergencies. Experts with backgrounds in Anaesthesia, Medicine, Surgery, OBG, Pediatrics, Orthopaedic, and Trauma care have acted as mentors in creating a new generation of Emergency Department physicians. These young leaders are taking this novel specialty to new pinnacles with great vigor and vision.
