Reaffirming its role in providing acute and trauma care for the region, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, Coimbatore, inaugurated its expanded and upgraded Emergency Department and Advanced Life Monitoring System on 10th December 2025.
R. Sundar, Managing Trustee of SNR Sons Charitable Trust, inaugurated the facility in the presence of Narendran, Joint Managing Trustee; Ram Kumar, CEO; and Mahesh Kumar, Chief Administrative Officer of the trust. Rajagopal, Medical Director, and Dr. Alagappan, Medical Superintendent of the hospital, were also present.
The new Emergency Department is built to global emergency medicine standards, ensuring swift and evidence-based intervention for life-threatening conditions.
The facility includes NABH-compliant systems and protocols, with standardised pathways for stroke, STEMI (heart attack), and polytrauma, helping deliver care comparable to international benchmarks.
The 24/7 service is supported by a coordinated, multidisciplinary emergency team comprising more than 10 Emergency Physicians and 40 Emergency Nurses trained in acute and critical care.
Pre-hospital stabilisation is ensured through the hospital’s LIFESCIENCE ambulance network, equipped with monitors and ventilators.
Inside the department, a three-tier triage system (Red, Yellow, Green zones) prioritises immediate attention for the most critical patients.
Modern resuscitation bays offer point-of-care testing, bedside monitoring, and quick access to CT, MRI, and digital imaging, reducing delays in diagnosis and treatment.
Addressing the media, Sundar highlighted the hospital’s commitment to delivering timely and reliable care, emphasising that in emergencies, “every second counts.” He said the strengthened Emergency and Trauma Care Department ensures that critically ill patients receive the fastest and most dependable treatment.
Advanced Life Monitoring System
Sri Ramakrishna Hospital also introduced its Advanced Life Monitoring System, designed to enhance patient care during ambulance transport. The system enables real-time monitoring of patients in transit, supported by a Smart Monitoring Centre located within the Emergency Department.
The system features dual-side interactive capability, allowing communication between the patient, emergency medical personnel, and hospital staff. This supports prompt decision-making, timely interventions, and reduced delays. By connecting pre-hospital and in-hospital care, the hospital aims to improve patient outcomes and raise the quality of emergency medical services.
