According to a report by the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs, a well-established trauma and emergency care system can help save 20% to 25% more lives annually. It can also reduce the occurrence of serious disabilities by over 50%. Paramedics are a multi-faceted field which includes emergency care and palliative medical assistance. It also includes nursing, OT activities, administration, diagnostic services, and even the study of medical equipment.

Full Spectrum of Allied Health Professionals

Allied health professionals do not possess a degree in medicine. Instead, they undergo specialised education and practical training to provide medical assistance to specialised doctors and navigate complex medical situations. Paramedics in this category may be directly or indirectly involved in patient care. Their duties can be performed at the site of an incident, in an ambulance, hospital, clinic, or outpatient facility. With multi-speciality training, allied health professionals facilitate the evolution of medicine, promote healthy lifestyles and preventive care, and extend patient care beyond conventional medical practices.

Recognising the growing need and understanding of the significance of paramedics, Narayana Health has built an exceptional paramedical services team. We have full-spectrum paramedical specialists who are qualified and experienced in:

Emergency Services

Emergencies can happen to anyone and at any time. Paramedics play an indispensable role in healthcare. From a fall to a cylinder blast, a seizure or stroke and even floods, paramedical professionals are trained to provide real-time intervention to save lives and provide healthcare support to people in distress. They specialise in emergency and life-saving care. Their goal is to stabilise patients and transport them to the nearest medical facility. Specialist doctors take over and offer extensive treatment to these patients. Paramedics are also trained to collect and analyse evidence in the case of criminal-generated emergencies.

Emergency services form a crucial part of paramedical healthcare. These are the frontline care providers in unprecedented situations. Their integrated approach to diagnosis, early resuscitation, and immediate care helps minimise the adverse impact of the event. Our emergency personnel provide the following services:

Ambulance services
Oxygen support
CPR: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Intubation to release blood/ fluid build-up or assist in breathing
Intravenous therapies, such as emergency medication

Paramedics diagnose the most severe problems in patients. They may or may not carry portable imaging machinery, depending on the location and type of emergency. Also, they identify and administer immediate medical care to stabilise the patient.

When to Seek Emergency Care?

You should contact emergency healthcare services if you witness or happen to be involved in any of the following situations:

Accidents involving vehicles, electronic equipment, cylinders, etc.
Serious falls from height or due to water spillage as they may cause head trauma or back injuries
You meet a victim of sexual violence
Sports-related injuries
Gunshot wounds
Stroke, heart attack, panic attack, asthma attack, etc.
Natural disasters, such as forest fires, floods, earthquakes

Narayana Health’s Top-Notch Emergency and Paramedical Facilities

The primary goal of emergency services is to provide accelerated optimal care to those in debilitating situations. Our emergency centres are functional 24/7 to deliver the highest quality of care in the least possible time. Our fully equipped emergency centres across Narayana health medical facilities have a triage system, observation bay, heart command, operation theatres, and trauma management capabilities. We also have the latest equipment for blood gas analysis, point-of-care devices, emergency kits, haemodialysis, ECMO and MARS. The critical care units have ventilators, defibrillators, pulse oximeters, and patient monitors. Narayana Health doctors can manage cardiac, neurological, orthopaedic, and paediatric emergencies as well as road accidents, personal trauma, assaults, and natural disasters.

Being at the forefront of healthcare with dedicated paramedical training programs gives Narayan Health an edge in the field of emergency care. Narayana Health's paramedical training involves well-rounded education in medical procedures, emergency practices, laboratory services, and alternative diagnoses. Their emergency care training includes managing illness, preventing injuries, airway management, trauma impact assessment, and reporting to enable quick disposition of specialised care once the patient reaches the hospital. Our most sought-after academic programs include DNB, Fellowship in Critical Care and Completion of Certification Training in Emergency Medicine / Master's in Emergency Medicine (CCTEM/MEM).

Unfortunately, paramedics always find themselves dealing with unique and unexpected situations. There never is a straightforward textbook case. This is where extensive and rigorous training plays a pivotal role in equipping them with the right skills, emotional balance, and attitude to deal with whatever comes their way. In addition to skill development and qualification, our paramedical professionals receive continued on-the-job training in multiple disciplines.

Emergency care involves uncontrolled settings, limited resources, and quick thinking. This leaves no room for them to misdiagnose or provide the wrong treatments. The slightest mistake can be fatal. Our paramedics are experts in reading medical reports to identify what kind of medication in an emergency can cause reactions. They are also street-smart, so they can evaluate patients' needs and the fastest way to help them reach a medical facility. Besides, they even have exceptional communication skills to communicate well with panicked patients, keep the police force in the loop, support fire-fighters, and much more.
