The Importance of a 24/7 Emergency Care Hospital
Medical emergencies do not wait for office hours. Accidents, heart attacks, strokes and severe injuries can occur at any time. A hospital that provides round-the-clock emergency services is crucial for timely intervention. At MM Hospital, we operate with the golden hour principle—where rapid response within the first hour significantly improves survival chances and reduces complications.
The Golden Hour in Emergency Care
The first 60 minutes following a severe medical emergency are critical. Whether it is a cardiac arrest, stroke, or major trauma, immediate medical attention within this period can:
- Prevent irreversible damage to vital organs
- Improve patient recovery outcomes
- Reduce the risk of long-term disability
- Increase survival rates significantly
At MM Hospital, we ensure that every step of our emergency care, from ambulance response to hospital treatment, is optimized to make the most of this crucial time.
Why Immediate Emergency Care is Essential
Heart Attacks: Delays can result in permanent heart damage or death. Immediate intervention can restore blood flow and prevent further complications.
Strokes: Quick medical attention can significantly reduce brain damage and paralysis risks.
Accidents & Trauma: Timely care is crucial to prevent excessive blood loss, infections, or internal injuries.
Respiratory Failures: Oxygen deprivation can lead to irreversible brain damage if not treated quickly.
At MM Hospital, we understand that time is of the essence, and we take proactive measures to ensure immediate care when it matters the most.

Real-Life Stories: How MM Hospital Has Made a Difference
Case 1:
Mrs. Parvathi arrived at our hospital with breathing difficulties and chest pain. An ECG confirmed a myocardial infarction (MI), leading to immediate thrombolysis followed by an angiogram. The results indicated Triple Vessel Disease (TVD), necessitating a consultation with a Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) team. She subsequently underwent a successful Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) procedure. After five days of post-operative care in the ICU, she was transferred to the ward for further recovery and was later discharged in stable condition.
Case 2:
Patient Name: Prem Kumar
A 34-year-old male presented with weakness in the left upper and lower limbs. A CT scan confirmed acute subdural hemorrhage (SDH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The patient experienced two seizures despite being under observation. Due to the risk of aspiration, intubation was performed. After three days, the patient was extubated and remained in the ICU until the fifth day. During this period, his weakness improved, regaining full muscle power (5/5), and his antiplatelet levels normalized. Once stabilized, he was transferred to the ward and subsequently discharged.
