It is a place where patients with potentially life-threatening symptoms such as headache, chest pain, abdominal pain, collapse of unknown cause and severe injury are attended to in the hospital.
In the EC, cardiac emergencies are managed including cardiac arrest, acute stroke, hypertensive emergencies, shock and others.
