Accident & Emergency (24×7)
When Every Second Counts — We Are Ready
A medical emergency does not come with a warning. A road accident at midnight. A heart attack at dawn. A child with a sudden high fever at 3 AM. In moments like these, you need a hospital that is not just open — but ready.
IPIMS Hospital’s Accident & Emergency (A&E) Department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our team of emergency physicians, trauma surgeons, and trained nurses is always on standby — equipped with the latest medical technology and guided by one single goal: to save your life and stabilise your condition as quickly as possible.
Located on the Main G.T. Road in Panipat, IPIMS Hospital is one of the most accessible emergency care centres in the Sonipat-Panipat-Karnal corridor. Whether you arrive by ambulance, private vehicle, or on foot — our emergency team receives you immediately.
What is an Accident & Emergency (A&E) Department?
The Accident & Emergency department — also called A&E, Emergency Room (ER), or Casualty — is the section of a hospital that provides immediate, unplanned medical care for patients who are seriously ill or injured. Unlike routine OPD (outpatient) appointments that are scheduled in advance, the A&E department is designed to receive anyone, at any time, without prior booking.
At IPIMS Hospital, our A&E department serves as the hospital’s primary entry point for all critical cases. From the moment a patient arrives, our triage nurses assess the urgency of the condition and ensure that the most life-threatening cases receive care within minutes.
A&E care is different from general medicine. It focuses on stabilisation — stopping the immediate threat to life — before arranging definitive treatment, whether that means admission to a ward, surgery, ICU care, or safe discharge with follow-up guidance.
When is this Procedure Used? (Common Indications)
Because it is so fast and accessible, an X-ray is almost always the very first imaging test ordered by a doctor. Your physician, orthopedic surgeon, or emergency specialist will typically order an X-ray in the following scenarios:
- Trauma & Fractures: To instantly check for broken bones, hairline fractures, or dislocated joints after a fall, sports injury, or accident.
- Chest & Lung Issues: A Chest X-ray (CXR) is the frontline test for diagnosing lung infections (like pneumonia or tuberculosis), fluid in the lungs, or an enlarged heart.
- Joint Pain & Arthritis: To look for bone spurs, worn-down cartilage, or joint damage caused by osteoarthritis.
- Digestive Issues: To investigate severe abdominal pain, locate accidentally swallowed foreign objects (like a coin swallowed by a child), or detect blockages in the intestines.
- Dental & Jaw Conditions: To assess the jawbone before dental surgery or investigate facial fractures.
