Ernakulam GMC Hospital Boosts Trauma Care

Government Medical College Hospital in Ernakulam has significantly upgraded its emergency and advanced trauma care capabilities. The hospital recently welcomed an additional cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, bolstering the department's capacity to serve patients. This expansion includes the introduction of vascular emergency surgery, a critical service for trauma victims.

Patients will benefit from these advanced services at considerably lower costs compared to private healthcare facilities. The hospital also anticipates that these enhancements will lead to a reduction in the waiting period for cancer patients requiring complex procedures. Round-the-clock surgical support for thoracic trauma and vascular injuries is also planned, alongside the future offering of vascular graft surgeries.
