Critical Care Medicine

The patients are given care by qualified intensivists, resident doctors and nursing staff . The department follows evidence based protocols to provide quality care at all times to critically ill patients. Patient care is provided by dedicated team of doctors and nurses in shifts and written handover of information is done between physician to physician and nurse to nurse to avoid any miscommunication. The department has monthly scheduled departmental meetings, mortality and morbidity meetings.
