Critical Care
The Department of Critical Care Medicine at St. Stephen’s Hospital is a tertiary-level advanced critical care centre offering comprehensive, compassionate care for acutely and critically ill patients, emergencies, and the seriously injured. Our intensive care units are staffed by a dedicated team and equipped with modern monitoring and life-support technology, available around the clock.
Critical illness is one of the most frightening experiences a family can face. Our role is twofold: to provide the highest standard of medical care to the patient, and to support and inform the family through a difficult time. We believe families deserve honesty, regular updates, and to be treated as part of the care.

- Respiratory failure and breathing emergencies
- Cardiac emergencies and shock
- Multi-organ failure
- Post-operative critical care for major surgery
- Severe trauma and injury
