After initial management we send the investigation and patient is kept for observation along with the required treatment. We refer the patient to specialty if required and get an expert opinion. Upon receiving the lab reports, the decision for admission or discharge is taken.

The ER department is staffed by fully qualified and trained doctors, nurses, X-ray, and ECG technician. In the department we are able to rule in / out heart attacks in a very short period of time via a specialized kit which can read cardiac enzymes in matter of minutes in patients presenting to us with acute chest pain.

Length of stay:
Our aim is to mobilize the patient from ER as soon as possible, but at times, the patient needs comprehensive evaluation and multiple referrals. In such situation the patient has to stay as in ER for few hours after which the decision of admission or discharge is made.
Medical Ethics
We look after patients medical and ethical issues competently giving them comfort and ease while they stay in ER.
