Emergency Entrance and Admission

All ambulances drive patients to the Emergency entrance and drive the patient on a wheeled strecher inside the Hospital through the Emergency into the ICU where an immidiate assessment is made and marked by the ICU In-charge on the severity of the case and plan of action and nursing and supervisory team and resource allocation. Walking patients may also enter from the Emergency entrance and get themseleves examined in case of an emergency. Please note that in case of ambulance admission, ambulatory costs, and admission may be made during or after the ICU discharge while for all other patients an immdiate registration at the emergency reception with a deposit and patient consent forms signing is required. All new Acid Burns and Road accident cases are treated without fees at all Silver Image hospitals with a deferred registration.
