The Department of Critical Care looks after life-threatening illnesses. At Samridhi Hospital Siliguri, our team of physicians, nurses and medical personnel are on call 24x7, because we understand how important every second is during an emergency. Patients in a very serious condition are treated in a designated area called the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Their condition can change very quickly with time, so they need immediate care and attention. Extra care is given to patients who have extremely serious medical conditions. The ICU requires close observation and support 24x7 to keep the patient stable.
Our ICU team at Samridhi Hospital includes experienced physicians known as intensivists, along with nurses who are skilled at managing life-threatening conditions. They provide each patient with personalised care and treat a range of medical conditions.
Our Critical Care Unit and ICU are open around the clock. This means that, day or night, we are prepared to handle a crisis. From heart-related problems to a serious accident, our team is ready to give immediate help and care whenever it is needed.
We use modern medical technology in our ICU to monitor and treat patients, including equipment that tracks heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels and other important vital signs. For patients who need help with breathing or other activities, we have life support devices. Having the right equipment in critical care is essential for delivering immediate and effective treatment.
The safety and quality standards set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) are followed at Samridhi Hospital. By following these standards, we make sure that patients receive safe, high-quality care. Providing a hygienic, secure and caring environment for every patient is our priority.
We believe that caring for a patient involves more than treating the illness. Our team works directly with patients and their families to keep them informed and supported during treatment.
When care is needed urgently, it is important to choose the right hospital. At Samridhi Hospital Siliguri, we provide advanced technology, experienced medical staff and care 24x7, so that every patient gets the treatment and support they need. We are committed to providing prompt, compassionate care that helps patients recover from serious medical conditions. Our Critical Care Unit at Samridhi Hospital is dedicated to giving patients with life-threatening illnesses the care they need.
