Intensive Care

The art of medicine lies in balanced and professional treatment of the risk of associated side effects involved because of non-invasive & invasive treatment modalities. Critical care medicine is an offshoot of this concept. Critical care unit is designed for patients who need & can benefit from facilities & services. Our hospital has one 4 bed capacity ICU and 6 bed capacity HDU Patients in critical moments of illness usually have a failure, or pending failure or potential failure, of one or more major systems. They, therefore, need continuous support, monitoring, nursing care & availability of medical staff around the clock.

Recovery Room

We have a 5-bed capacity with ECG, pulse oximetry and NIBP for every bed, providing constant oxygen supply and central vacuum system. As part of the overall endeavor to improve surgical and critical care outcomes across the Hospital’s operations.
