Emergency Facilities
The Institute caters for emergencies relating to the specialties existing at the institute but not for general medical emergencies. It does not have a full fledged emergency medicine/ trauma department, and is not geared to manage acute emergencies and trauma cases. Any such patients received at the emergency receiving station of SGPGI are referred to other hospitals in the city, and are provided only first-aid/ supportive treatment.
