Urgent Care Centre, a pioneering model of pre-hospital care medical centres in India launched its second centre in the capital, one month after coming up with its first centre at Vikas Marg. The centre is located in Kalkaji/ Nehru Enclave region of the capital and is plans to provide critical and immediate attention for all medical urgencies. To achieve the aim of providing timely, safe, effective, measurable and efficient care, Urgent Care Centres will be accessible 24×7.
Urgent Care Centre is equipped to reach out to the needy in the first 60 minutes after a medical emergency has occurred This is especially true for road accidents, heart, and brain related incidents. “There could be an 8-12 hour waiting in a public hospital, while the visit to an emergency in a private hospital can be very expensive. We are bridging the gap by providing walk in on the spot emergency care at a very reasonable cost”, said Dr Pervez Ahmed Chairman and Managing Director.
Urgent Care Centers can help the kind of patients who have an injury or illness that requires immediate care but is not serious enough to warrant a visit to an emergency department. The Urgent Care centres are well-equipped to cater to the primary healthcare needs of the local communities (treatment for common injuries and conditions like cuts, burns, flu and out patient department clinical services including preventative screening, basic diagnostics and vaccinations) as well as capabilities and experience to treat most episodic healthcare needs, including cardiac arrest, stroke symptoms, breathing problems and most trauma incidents.
The centres aim at providing high-quality care at the time of medical exigencies that require immediate attention to bring relief to the patients and their families. Some common problems, including chest pains, fractures, accidental injuries, allergies, anxiety, abdominal pain, headaches and infections, can be tackled at urgent care clinics.
