The program focuses on ensuring timely and effective intervention during critical emergencies such as\u00a0brain strokes, heart attacks, and trauma cases, thereby increasing survival rates and reducing complications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This initiative focuses on empowering individuals and strengthening the hospital\u2019s response to critical medical situations such as brain strokes, heart attacks, and trauma. Marengo CIMS Hospital\u2019s Advanced Centre for Trauma and Emergency Care is fully equipped with cutting-edge technology and a highly trained multidisciplinary team, ensuring that patients receive immediate and expert care within the crucial\u00a0\u201cGolden Hour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr Keyur Parikh, Chairman of Marengo CIMS Hospital, highlighted the significance of this initiative, stating,\u00a0\u201cTime is the most crucial factor in an emergency. Whether it\u2019s a heart attack, stroke, or major trauma, every second counts. With\u00a0\u2018Urgency for Emergency\u2019,\u00a0we are committed to ensuring that no life is lost due to delays in care. Our goal is to create a responsive and well-equipped ecosystem where timely interventions save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are thrilled to announce the launch of \u2018Urgency for Emergency \u2013 60 Minutes for Life\u2019, a significant initiative across Marengo Asia Hospitals aimed at empowering individuals and community-at-large with life-saving emergency response skills. With this initiative, we also reaffirm our commitment to providing timely and expert intervention during critical emergencies such as brain strokes, heart attacks, and trauma cases. Under this initiative, Marengo Asia Hospitals will strengthen emergency response by empowering first responders through targeted training. One of the most effective ways to save lives will be ensuring that frontline individuals are well-equipped to manage emergencies before professional medical help arrives.\u201d Said\u00a0Dr Raajiv Singhal, Founding Member, Managing Director and Group CEO.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also added, \u201cThis is not the first time Marengo Asia Hospitals has emphasized the importance of trauma care and management. In December 2024, we hosted the inaugural International Conference on Trauma and Acute Care (ITACC) in collaboration with experts from Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA, and Harvard Medical School. This event brought together global leaders to advance trauma care and share ground-breaking life-saving practices and provided a platform for transformative knowledge sharing, making it a unique and impactful event in India.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reflecting on the past initiatives, he reiterated, \u201cDespite advances in medical science, timely access to specialized care remains a challenge, compounded by inadequate awareness and insufficient infrastructure in rural and semi-urban areas. Reaching the right hospital, at the right time is the essence treatment. To strengthen the network of stroke care centres and mobilize nursing homes, nurses, and support staff, Marengo Asia Hospitals launched the Strokologist Program to train the community of physicians, critical care specialists, and ICU and ER doctors and empower them with the skills for timely diagnosis and treatment as soon as a stroke patient is brought under their care. Marengo Asia Hospitals, through this program, has already trained over 1000 consultants. We are establishing a hub-and-spoke network with nursing homes to ensure that each primary stroke centre is equipped with advanced technology, enabling immediate intervention to prevent disability and save lives in stroke cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr Y.C. Shah, Neuro &amp; Spine Surgeon says,\u00a0\u201cTime is the most crucial factor in neurological and trauma emergencies. In strokes, delays in reaching a hospital can lead to irreversible brain damage, while in trauma cases, uncontrolled bleeding or spinal injuries can become life-threatening within minutes. At Marengo CIMS, our specialized stroke and trauma response teams are on standby 24\/7, ensuring that patients receive immediate, advanced treatment. By acting swiftly, we can significantly improve survival rates, minimize complications, and enhance long-term recovery outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr Pranav Shah, Head of the Orthopaedic Trauma Program,\u00a0spoke about the hospital\u2019s capability in handling severe trauma cases, stating-\u00a0\u201cTrauma care requires speed, precision and continuous coordination between multiple specialties. At Marengo CIMS, we have developed a seamless, protocol-based trauma response system so that our patients receive immediate surgical or critical care life-saving interventions. We strive to reduce complications and increase the survival rates with preserved function.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr Mukesh Sharma, Director of Neuro intervention &amp; Stroke,\u00a0elaborated on the hospital\u2019s neuro-emergency infrastructure, noting, \u201cNeuro intervention is highly time-sensitive. A delay of even a few minutes in Ischemic Stroke and Brain Hemorrhage cases can mean the difference between recovery and permanent disability. Through this initiative, we are reinforcing our commitment to providing the fastest possible neurocritical care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr Harshil (Zonal Incharge Emergency Medicine &amp; Dr Aayushi Chokshi Parikh (Consultant Emergency Physician and ER In-charge) shares, \u201cEffective trauma management is a time-sensitive task that relies on quick decision-making, coordinated care and the immediate application of life-saving interventions in the ER. Complex polytrauma is an extremely high stakes environment and hence it is correctly believed that optimum trauma management is \u201ca race against time\u201d to save lives. With the launch of this campaign, we aim to capitalize upon the golden hour management in trauma and provide timely and targetted therapeutic intervention for saving lives. We look forward to being the frontline trauma warriors and live up to our dictum \u2013 \u201d Every minute counts; Every life matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-62278 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bizzsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PNN-1200x675-47.jpg\" alt=\"Marengo CIMS Hospital\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bizzsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PNN-1200x675-47.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PNN-1200x675-47-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PNN-1200x675-47-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PNN-1200x675-47-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PNN-1200x675-47-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PNN-1200x675-47-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India records nearly\u00a01.8 million stroke cases annually, with only\u00a010% of patients\u00a0receiving treatment within the crucial\u00a04.5-hour window,\u00a0despite timely intervention preventing permanent brain damage. Heart attacks account for\u00a025% of all deaths, with\u00a050% proving fatal within the first hour\u00a0due to delayed response, while\u00a0every 30-minute delay\u00a0in treatment increases the risk of death by\u00a07%.\u00a0Road accidents claim over\u00a01.5 lakh lives annually, with\u00a0400 deaths daily, many preventable with immediate trauma care. Research shows that\u00a0every minute of untreated stroke\u00a0results in the loss of\u00a01.9 million neurons, early angioplasty within\u00a090 minutes of a heart attack\u00a0reduces mortality by\u00a050%,\u00a0and trauma patients receiving emergency surgery within\u00a0the golden hour\u00a0have significantly higher survival rates, emphasizing the critical need for rapid medical intervention.
