Accident & Emergency Medicine

The Emergency Medicine Department of PRS Hospital, Trivandrum provides multidisciplinary critical care to patients suffering from medical emergencies and traumatic injuries. The department operates in tandem with round- the-clock ancillary subspecialty services for the swift treatment of patients in critical conditions. All the Emergency Doctors, Staffs and Paramedics are American Heart Association BLS, ACLS, PALS and ATLS trained.

PRS’s emergency medicine department regularly holds emergency drills as a part of their disaster preparedness protocols that extensively train the entire hospital staff in emergency response. This guarantees that safe, efficient, and outstanding emergency care can always be found at PRS Hospital, even in times of crisis.

The emergency department consists of two sub- departments: the adult emergency department and the pediatric emergency department. Each shift is led by emergency specialists who oversee every case that passes through their department. Their final seal of approval ensures that our patients receive the same standard of quality healthcare. Any obstetrics and gynecology-related emergency is handled directly by its specialists and practitioners. This way, the patient receives the best possible care immediately and ensures privacy.

In addition to that, this department features a friendly, lively, and vibrant environment that makes our little patients feel right at home. PRS Emergency Department has been awarded the best emergency department by Society of Emergency Medicine, India. Also the team has scored first prize in the Resuscitation Competition SIM LEAGUES in the International Conference EMCON in 2022.
