Accidents and medical emergencies, especially trauma cases, strokes, road accidents, severe injuries, and critical fractures, demand swift medical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications such as permanent disabilities or death. Many often struggle and lose their precious lives as help doesn’t arrive on time. Medicover Hospital has taken a critical step by launching the advanced trauma center by committing to deliver exceptional, patient-centric healthcare solutions. The Hospital will also conduct expert talks by neuro and ortho specialists, an interactive session for ambulance personnel, and empower everyone to act quickly during the time of emergency.
Dr Nitish Arora, Consultant Complex Trauma, Pediatric Orthopedics & ILIZAROV Surgeon, Medicover Hospitals said , “Accidents and Emergencies are unpredictable and life-threatening, making immediate medical or surgical intervention crucial. The mortality rate is high in trauma patients. During fatal accidents, falls, medical aid should be given in the first “golden hour”. The 'golden hour' is a concept that critically injured patients are required to receive definitive care within 60 minutes from the occurrence of injuries, after which mortality significantly increases. Given this, our Advanced Trauma Centre is well-equipped to deliver expert care at every stage, from on-site response to critical surgeries and rehabilitation. We have a dedicated emergency response contact number: 8655845861. The hospital’s trained personnel provide prehospital emergency care, supported by a well-equipped ambulance service to stabilize patients before reaching the hospital. Once admitted, the in-house emergency team, including specialists in orthopaedics, general surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, anaesthesiology, ICU care, and physiotherapy, works together round the clock to ensure timely and precise treatment. To conclude, Medicover Hospital is equipped with advanced facilities and a smooth emergency response system, and we are committed to improving outcomes in critically injured patients. This is indeed a major step towards strengthening emergency medical response and trauma care for the community.”
“With its specialized emergency team and a holistic approach to trauma care, the newly launched Advanced Trauma Center is set to become a lifesaving hub for Navi Mumbai, offering timely and expert medical attention when it matters the most,” said Neeraj Lal, Regional Director for the Maharashtra and Karnataka Region at Medicover Hospitals, Sharing his story, the accident victim Vikas Gupta said, “I will forever be grateful to the doctors at Medicover Hospital for giving me a second chance at life.
