Once the patient is stabilised, appropriate diagnostic tests are performed to understand the extent of injury. Based on the findings, our specialists may recommend emergency surgery, non-surgical treatment, intensive care, observation, rehabilitation, or follow-up care.

    • Immediate clinical examination and emergency triage.
    • Stabilisation of critical injuries and vital functions.
    • Rapid imaging and laboratory investigations when required.
    • Selection of appropriate surgical or conservative treatment.
    • Close monitoring following emergency procedures or surgery.
