Emergency
Our emergency department is resourced with a
highly competent and trained casualty and trauma staff, with a 24 hour backup of
cardiologists and a coronary unit. The use of modern technology allows prompt
diagnosis and hence a higher possibility of precision in treatment within the
short critical time period available during an emergency. Two major upgrades
were made in the department last year: the recent ECG machines that operate
through a laptop and allow virtual data sharing with any medical specialists in
an instant, and the defibrillator with pacer, which allows the medical staff to
treat emergency cases in an efficient manner.
The Department has 10 beds in total, with one fully equipped Resuscitation
Room, a minor OT, Cold Area, Triage and Procedure Room. The most recent addition
to the Emergency Department has been a paediatric ER.
