Adopting international guidelines and protocols in the organization and patient care, all the critical care units are staffed with an adequate and well qualified critical care team. The units have round the clock access to Microbiologists, Radiology & laboratory services, Physiotherapy and Dietary services, thus making them comprehensive and unique.
