The Department of Emergency Medicine at Unico Hospital PLC is the frontline of hospital care, providing immediate medical attention for patients with acute medical and surgical emergencies of all age groups. Emergency Medicine is one of the most comprehensive and demanding medical specialties, requiring experienced healthcare professionals, rapid decision-making, updated clinical knowledge, and effective teamwork.

Often described as the “Face of the Hospital,” the Emergency Department is designed to deliver prompt, organized, and patient-centered care when every minute matters.

24/7 Emergency Medical Services

Unico Hospital PLC offers a modern, well-equipped Emergency Medicine Department that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The department is prepared to manage a broad range of emergency conditions, from sudden illnesses and injuries to critical medical and surgical emergencies requiring immediate intervention.

A team of specialist doctors is available 24/7 to manage emergencies, with particular emphasis on Golden Hour management and minimizing delays in critical care. Rapid assessment, stabilization, diagnosis, and treatment are integrated into the emergency care pathway to ensure patients receive the right care at the right time.

Located on the ground floor of the hospital, the Emergency Department is designed for quick accessibility and efficient patient movement.

Dedicated Emergency Facilities

To support rapid and effective emergency management, Unico Hospital's Emergency Department includes dedicated facilities designed around the needs of critically ill and emergency patients.

Dedicated Triage Area

A dedicated triage area enables the emergency team to rapidly assess patients and prioritize care according to the urgency and severity of their condition. This helps ensure that patients requiring immediate intervention receive prompt attention.

Advanced Resuscitation Room

The department features an advanced resuscitation room for patients requiring immediate stabilization and life-saving interventions. It is supported by appropriate emergency equipment and trained healthcare professionals.

8-Bed Emergency Treatment Area

The Emergency Department has a highly equipped 8-bed treatment area supported by dedicated emergency nursing services. This allows multiple emergency patients to receive assessment, treatment, monitoring, and stabilization simultaneously.

Dedicated Pediatric & Gynae Observation Beds

Recognizing the specific needs of different patient groups, the department provides dedicated pediatric and gynecology observation beds for appropriate emergency assessment and monitoring.

Dedicated Procedure Room

A dedicated procedure room supports the management of emergency cases requiring urgent procedures and interventions.

Golden Hour Emergency Management

In many medical emergencies, particularly conditions such as heart attack, stroke, severe trauma, respiratory distress, and other life-threatening conditions, timely treatment can significantly influence patient outcomes.

At Unico Hospital, the Emergency Medicine team follows a Golden Hour-focused approach, emphasizing rapid assessment, early stabilization, timely investigations, and prompt coordination with the appropriate specialist team.

The objective is to reduce unnecessary delays and ensure that patients requiring urgent treatment are quickly connected with the appropriate medical resources.

24/7 Ambulance Services with BLS & ALS Support

Emergency care begins before the patient reaches the hospital. Unico Hospital PLC provides 24/7 ambulance services supported by dedicated Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) medical teams, including trained Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs).

The ambulance service supports emergency patient transportation while maintaining communication with the hospital's emergency team. Emergency calls are received and relevant information is communicated through appropriate channels to facilitate timely coordination and patient care.

For ALS ambulance transfers where required, BLS- and ACLS-certified doctors from the concerned department may accompany the patient, depending on the clinical needs of the case.

Emergency Patient Transfer & Hospital Coordination

The Emergency Department maintains appropriate communication channels for receiving and transferring emergency patients. When patients require services beyond the available scope of care, coordination with nearby hospitals can support appropriate referral and transfer arrangements.

This communication-based approach helps maintain continuity of care during emergency transfers and ensures that relevant clinical information can be communicated to the receiving facility whenever required.

Comprehensive Emergency Care for All Age Groups

The Emergency Medicine Department is prepared to provide urgent care for newborns, children, adults, and elderly patients. Emergency conditions can vary significantly across age groups, which is why the department maintains access to specialized support from different clinical disciplines.

Depending on the patient's condition, emergency care may involve coordination with Cardiology, Neurology, General Surgery, Orthopedics, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Respiratory Medicine, Critical Care, Radiology, and other specialist departments.

This multidisciplinary approach allows emergency patients to move efficiently from initial assessment to definitive treatment or specialized care.
