ICU – Department of Critical Care
The Department of Critical Care Medicine was created in Jan 2014 to streamline the working of the ICUs at Bharati hospital & Research Centre and create an academic environment for research and education.
Critical Care Medicine Department
The department is well equipped and provides services for around 4500 critically ill patients every year. The medical emergency and code blue team from the department of critical care medicine provides outreach services for critically ill patients in other parts of the hospital. We also monitor several quality indicators and conduct audits to provide quality health care for ICU patients.
A number of training programs are also conducted on an ongoing basis for undergraduates, postgraduates and nurses. The department has been granted permission for conducting DM Critical care by MOH & FW, Vide reference- U-12012/14/2016-ME-1
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the department of critical care medicine has treated over 2000 critically ill patients. We have also provided training for acute care in Covid-19 to more than 500 healthcare professionals all over the state of Maharashtra.
