The Accident & Emergency Department at MMHRC is a tertiary referral center and level 1 trauma center, which provides extensive and comprehensive emergency care to the sick and injured. Our Accident & Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and treats approximately 30 to 35 patients per day for a variety of medical & surgical conditions. We provide initial assessment and management to patients with a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries (medical, surgical, cardiac and trauma) some of which may be life threatening and requiring immediate intervention. The ER physician will attend all the patients immediately on their arrival to the department. Every effort will be done by our A & E doctors to act quickly and do the best to restore life to the patient.

The department is run by one qualified emergency physicians, supported by four medical officers, one nursing supervisor, eight nursing staff and four paramedical staff. The doctors and staff nurses are trained in BASIC LIFE SUPPORT and ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT and can handle all kinds of emergencies.

The department is equipped with all basic requirements needed to resuscitate a patient in cardiac arrest. Life saving interventions like defibrillation, intubation, needle decompression, ICD placement, pericardiocentisis etc. will be done in the department itself if required. Bedside

X- rays and ultrasonography with on going resuscitation will be done in all trauma patients who are hemodynamically unstable. Bedside ECHO will be done by the cardiologist for cardiac patients if needed.

The department also provides pre-hospital care service with its 3 ambulances; one hi-tech Advanced Life Support ambulance (equipped with defibrillator, ventilator, NIBP and SpO2 monitor) and two Basic Life Support ambulances. The goal of our pre-hospital care is to take the emergency room to the patient before bringing the patient to the emergency room and provide appropriate care on the field during the GOLDEN HOUR that can make the difference between life and death. We have four well-trained paramedical staffs (EMTs) who can intubate, defibrillate and provide advanced life support to the sick patients.
