  • 24X7 Emergency Care

     

    Road accidents, heart attack, severe burns, snake bites … Medical emergencies occur in several forms  any time, at any place without any warning and may lead to life-threatening situations in the absence of timely healthcare intervention.

    While it is a natural choice to visit the nearest healthcare provider in such cases, it is also to be borne in mind that some critical emergencies may require a better facility that provides multidisciplinary care in the shortest possible time to save a life.

    Ease of access and a proven track record in providing immediate medical care to the people who need it most, has made EMC the first choice for emergency medical care in the region. We always try our best to save a life.    Learn More…

  • 24X7 Cardiac Care

     

    Your heart is the most important organ without which the rest of your body may not function properly. However many people tend to compromise on this aspect with the result that in an emergency situation such as a stroke or cardiac arrest, timely medical assistance is of utmost importance to save a life.

    We at EMC are there to help you on this, through our newly opened 24 x 7 Cardiac Care Centre with a state-of-the art Cath Lab to provide the best cardiac care in Kochi. Remember, seconds do count when you have an acute heart problem.  Our  mobile ICU equipped  with on-board critical care medical facilities managed  by qualified staff can be your first choice for emergency cardiac care in Kochi.  Learn More…

  • Intensive Care

     

    Intensive care refers to the medical treatment provided to patients under specialist observation and constant monitoring unlike the services in a normal ward.

    Such care is normally provided to patients who are critically ill or those recuperating from  treatment for traumatic accidents, burns  or major surgeriesa. The ICUs in EMC, with over 100 beds, provide a high level of intensive and high dependency care round the clock. Housed separately in a  sterile and safe environment, these units with specialized instruments and monitoring systems provide an individualized and compassionate care to patients of all ages.  Learn More….

  • Surgical Care

     

    While the mention of a surgical procedure commonly referred to as an operation may cause a sense of anxiety and fear in most people, it is sometimes one of the best and fastest options to get you back to good health, as directed by your medical consultant.

    In some cases it could be the only option available to save a life or help a person to lead a better quality of life..

    Our specialist surgeons and anesthetists work in the best equipped surgical environments backed by a team of specially trained nursing and support staff to provide you  a safe and top class surgical care all round, through the conventional open surgery, endoscopic and laparoscopic routes.      Learn More…

  • Speciality Care

     

    EMC is recognized for its excellence in providing the best treatment to our patients in several medical specialities.

    Speciality care means a situation where you receive treatment for a specific systemic health issue from a consultant who has the technical and clinical expertise in the particular human organ system.  For example, if you are identified with an abnormal cardiac problem, the best course of care will be provided by a cardiologist who has specialized in the working and treatment of heart related illness. Normally our general physicians, through their detailed examination of your medical condition would recommend the best specialist for your continued care.   Read More…

     

  • Maternity Care

     

    Pregnancy can be considered as a new stage in a woman’s life, especially for first time mothers. Accompanied by the physical, social and emotional changes that it can bring to her life, it is important that a prospective mother learn about ways to help herself and the family through this time of change. Keeping our commitment to ensure womens’ health, we at EMC help you achieve this goal.
