Accident & Emergency

Our Accident & Emergency (A&E) Department is always open and staffed with highly specialised emergency nurses and doctors whose role is to assess the patient, perform the required emergency investigations and provide the patient with the necessary immediate life-saving treatment before they get admitted for more definitive care.

This department is interconnected with a much larger web of people and services right around the whole hospital and sometimes beyond. From our on-call experts in surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, general medicine, cardiac care among others including our diagnostic services like labs, radiology and imaging technicians, all working towards restoring your good health.

Chest Pain Centre

A heart attack is a medical emergency. If you experience these symptoms (chest crushing pain, heavy arms, shortness of breath), immediately call an ambulance to take you to a hospital. Make sure you and your family can recognise the signs of a stroke since prompt treatment means the best chance for optimal recovery.

Not every emergency department can offer you the same timely state-of-the-art diagnostic testing and on-site treatment options that are available at Aga Khan University Hospital.
