Over 100 beds in our hospitals are regularly filled with patients who are fit to leave. An unnecessary or prolonged stay in hospital can be detrimental for a patient’s recovery. It’s vital that patients leave hospital within 48 hrs of being assessed medically fit for discharge.

The most important thing in ICU is not the ventilator or the drugs. It is the care of a skilled and dedicated nurse. They are what makes the biggest difference.
