What Is ICU & When Do You Need It?
ICU (Intensive Care Unit) is for patients who are critically ill and need constant monitoring, oxygen support, life-saving medication, and advanced nursing care. This could follow a surgery, emergency, or severe disease condition.
At Rudray Hospital, our ICU is available 24x7 with trained staff, continuous vitals tracking, and escalation-ready setup.
