Essential life-saving emergency procedures are performed in the ED by Emergency Physicians without delay.
Treatment strictly follows internationally accepted protocols, ensuring consistent and high-quality care. For rapid diagnostics, the ED features a Point-of-Care lab testing facility, an Ultrasound machine, and a Portable X-ray unit for quick diagnosis and decision-making. We have immediate access to a dedicated, adjacent Radiology Department offering 24-hour backup with CT, MRI, and Ultrasound scans.
