Critical Care

Patient vitals and measurements on a monitor

Our critical care teams are specialized healthcare providers who deliver intensive medical care to patients with severe, life-threatening conditions. Working primarily in critical care units such as Intensive Care Units (ICUs), they closely monitor patients' vital signs, administer medications, and manage life support equipment to stabilize and support their organ function. 

Their expertise, quick decision-making, and dedication are essential in saving lives and improving the prognosis of critically ill patients within the hospital environment.
