Our critical care units are equipped with advanced medical technology and highly skilled healthcare professionals who provide immediate, life-saving interventions. This includes procedures such as intubation, mechanical ventilation, cardiac resuscitation and administration of emergency medications.

Our critical care services offer continuous monitoring of vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and brain activity. This allows for early detection of any deterioration in a patient's condition, enabling prompt intervention and stabilization.

Each patient in critical care receives personalized treatment plans based on the patient’s specific condition. Our healthcare team closely monitor the patient's response to interventions, adjusts treatment as necessary, and collaborates to optimize outcomes.

Our critical care units are well coordinated with other departments and services within the hospital. This ensures smooth transitions of care, facilitates consultations with our various specialists, and enables prompt diagnostic tests and imaging.

By having a critical care service, we offer a higher level of care, expanding our capabilities to treat complex and life-threatening conditions.

Our critical care units allow us to provide specialized and intensive care to critically ill patients. This level of care ensures that patients with severe conditions receive the attention and interventions they require, leading to improved outcomes and reduced mortality rates.

Our critical care services extend beyond the acute phase of illness or injury. We also focus on post-intensive care management, rehabilitation and recovery. This includes physical therapy, occupational therapy and psychological support to help patients regain their functionality and improve their quality of life.
