Centre of Trauma & Critical Care  Increasing urbanisation and rapidly growing vehicular traffic is outpacing the road space and dangerously increasing the density of vehicles per km. in Mumbai. This has led to an increase in road traffic accidents. More lives are lost each year due to traffic related accidents than the deaths during the 2nd World War. Deaths and permanent disability caused due to Trauma or Road Traffic Accidents can be prevented if the victim is brought to a well-equipped Trauma Centre.

When someone is critically injured, every second counts. Getting timely and adequate care is the key to prevention of fatalities. This fact has been well-recognised by the Government of India, which is planning to build Trauma Centres on major highways.

Kohinoor Hospital, Kurla (W), Mumbai has taken an early initiative towards this and has set up a well-equipped and hi-tech Trauma Management System, in keeping with its tradition of providing world-class facilities to its patients.

Golden Hour

The first hour after an accident is considered the 'Golden Hour'. It is critical for accident patients that the time gap between the accident and the definitive treatment is minimised. This helps in saving precious lives.

Our dedicated Trauma Service Unit makes this possible, the patient is quickly evaluated, moves through diagnostics and gets the final treatment within the golden hour.

Kohinoor Hospital’s Trauma and Critical Care Department provides Comprehensive Care and Life Support Services to patients who are critically ill and require intensive monitoring. The equipment and state-of-the-art infrastructure of this department meet international standards, to assist patient recovery.
