24/7 Emergency Services: FAQs

What are the medical conditions that warrant emergency & critical care services?

The medical conditions requiring prompt emergency care are:

  • Chest pain
  • Accidents
  • Seizure
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Difficulty in breathing
  • Severe injury
  • Incessant diarrhoea

Is it necessary to seek emergency care for fever?

It is best to seek immediate medical care if the fever is accompanied by other symptoms such as:

  • Stiff neck
  • Discomfort in the chest
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Delirium
  • Severe headache

How is emergency care different from critical care?

Emergency care deals with unexpected medical crises and injuries that require immediate medical attention. Although this service deals with less severe illnesses, the patient may be transferred to critical care if necessary.

Conversely, critical care is typically reserved for major medical emergencies such as stroke, heart attack, or cardiac arrest, which require immediate and intensive treatment.
