Emergency & Trauma
Emergency and trauma care deals with life-threatening injuries or medical conditions that demand immediate attention. These cases often involve accidents, severe bleeding, head injuries, cardiac arrest, burns, or fractures. The primary goal of emergency and trauma management is to stabilize the patient, prevent further damage, and provide life-saving interventions in the shortest possible time. Quick diagnosis, skilled response, and advanced medical infrastructure can make the difference between life and death.
