Emergency Medicine

The Department (ED) is the acute access point for all tertiary care in this hospital. The ED sees 15,000 - 20,000 patients annually, of which 68% get admitted. We are one of the busiest Emergency Departments in Kolkata, & have set high standards in patient care, & are well-prepared and trained to meet the demands of the emergency room. It is manned by doctors who are specialists in Emergency Medicine.

The Department has undergone a refit to transform itself into a very modern state of the art facility, in a fully equipped 19 bed Emergency Department with well trained Emergency Physicians. We have a dedicated trauma team with an operation theatre in the ED, and the support of a well recognised Orthopedics Department and National Neurosciences Centre, consisting of Neurosurgical and Neurology Consultants to support us 24 X 7.

The Emergency Department is actively involved in academics like regular training classes for the Nursing, Paramedics and Junior Doctors of various departments of the Hospital. We also undertake ACLS, BLS courses at regular intervals and have started the Masters in Emergency Medicine, a Post Graduate Course, in collaboration with George Washington University, USA. It also leads the Disaster Management Cell and the Code Blue Team of the Hospital. There is also a Departmental Quality Assurance team which monitors Audits, Research and is constantly striving to improve quality of patient care in the department.


In an emergency, every minute counts in providing the best care, & at Peerless Hospital this not only means quality medical care, it also means personalized attention to our patients; & also taking Emergency Care to a new level.
