Casualty & Emergency
24-hour emergency care with mobile ICU ambulance backup.
Casualty & Emergency at Mangala Hospital
Casualty is the department that never closes at Mangala Hospital — staffed and open every hour of every day for accidents, trauma and sudden medical emergencies. The hospital has long positioned itself as a pioneer in trauma management in the region, and has attended to more than 53,000 trauma and other emergencies over the years, with a consistent focus on treating patients within the critical first "Golden Hour" after injury, when early intervention has the greatest impact on outcome.
The emergency bay provides monitored care spaces with central oxygen support so patients can be assessed, stabilised and treated promptly. Pre-hospital and transfer care is supported by the hospital ambulance service, including Mobile ICU capability for patients who need monitored transport.
Because a genuine emergency rarely fits neatly into one speciality, Casualty has rapid, direct access to the OT complex, our critical care units (CCU, MICU and Post-Operative ICU) and diagnostic imaging, and works hand-in-hand with Orthopaedics, Neurosurgery, General Surgery and General Medicine for onward specialist care — so a patient's treatment continues seamlessly once they are stabilised. For patients needing ICU, CCU or MICU admission, anaesthesia and critical-care backup is provided by Dr. Ganapathi P Bhat and Dr. Anita G. Bhat.

What Supports Care in Casualty
Monitored Care Bays & Central Oxygen
Every bed in the Casualty bay has central oxygen supply and monitoring built in, so a patient can be assessed and treated the moment they arrive rather than waiting for portable equipment. The layout allows several critical patients to be managed simultaneously, with duty staff able to escalate immediately to on-call specialists when needed.
Mobile ICU Ambulance Fleet
Our fleet includes three hospital ambulances and a Mobile ICU ambulance equipped with advanced life-support facilities such as ventilation support, a resuscitation kit, central oxygen, cardiac monitoring and a defibrillator. Trained staff can begin essential care from the moment the ambulance reaches the patient.
Direct Access to OT, ICU & Diagnostics
Casualty sits within immediate reach of the operation theatre complex, our critical care units and radiology, so a patient needing emergency surgery, ICU admission or urgent imaging is moved without delay. This tight physical and clinical integration is what allows the Golden Hour focus to be more than a slogan.

By ambulance or on your own, patients are received directly into the monitored Casualty bay, any hour of the day.

Oxygen, monitoring and initial treatment begin immediately, with specialists called in as the case requires.
Admission / Discharge
Patients are admitted to OT, ICU or a ward for further care, or treated and safely discharged with follow-up advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
