What to Do in a Medical Emergency

An emergency is frightening, and it is easy to freeze. This page is written so that you can read it quickly, act calmly, and get help to the right place. Save the number below in your phone now, before you need it.

Aravinda Hospitals & Advanced Medical Services is a developing 300-bed multispecialty tertiary-care hospital on the NH44 corridor, Telangana, near Mahabubnagar, with a 24×7 emergency department and a dedicated trauma care unit. When every second counts, count on us.

Below you will find the steps to take, what the Golden Hour means on the highway, how ambulances reach the hospital, and what to bring with you.

Step one: call +91 84542 90000

Call +91 84542 90000. Speak slowly. Tell the operator where you are, what has happened, and how many people are hurt. If you are on NH44, give the nearest kilometre marker, toll plaza, village, or landmark.

Stay on the line until the operator tells you to hang up. Keep the phone free afterwards so the ambulance crew can call you back.

If you cannot reach the hospital line, call the national emergency number 108 for an ambulance. Do not drive a seriously injured or unconscious person yourself unless there is no other option.

While you wait for the ambulance

Keep the patient still. Do not move someone who has been in a road accident unless they are in immediate danger, such as from fire or traffic. Moving a person with a spinal injury can make it worse.

Keep the patient warm and talk to them. If they are unconscious but breathing, gently turn them on to their side so their airway stays clear. If they are not breathing and you know CPR, begin chest compressions until help arrives.

Press firmly on heavy bleeding with a clean cloth. Do not remove objects embedded in a wound. Do not give food, water, or medicine by mouth.

For chest pain, sit the patient down, loosen tight clothing, and keep them calm. For a suspected stroke—face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech—note the time symptoms began; the emergency team will need it.

The Golden Hour on NH44

The Golden Hour is the period immediately after a serious injury, heart attack, or stroke, when prompt treatment makes the greatest difference to survival and recovery. It is the reason Aravinda Hospitals was placed on the NH44 corridor: the hospital's plan cites faster emergency response during the Golden Hour as a central purpose of the location.

What that means in practice is that a patient brought to the hospital is met by a 24×7 emergency team and can move, without leaving the building, to:

• The dedicated trauma care unit and trauma stabilisation area.
• CT scan, X-ray, and laboratory services for immediate diagnosis.
• The operation theatre complex for emergency surgery.
• The Intensive Care Units, staffed by dedicated intensivists.
• Blood storage and transfusion services and the 24×7 pharmacy.

Ambulance access and finding the hospital

Aravinda Hospitals is directly connected to NH44 and is being designed for ambulance access from the highway, with a dedicated emergency entrance separate from the main and OPD entrances, and the trauma bay immediately inside.

Directions: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Aravinda+Hospitals+NH44+Jadcherla+Mahabubnagar. Address: Survey No. 214, NH44 Service Road, Jadcherla Mandal, Mahabubnagar District, Telangana 509301.

If you are bringing the patient in a private vehicle, call +91 84542 90000 on the way so the team is ready when you arrive. Follow the signs for Emergency, not OPD.

Patients arriving from Karnataka, Rayalaseema, or other districts along NH44 are equally welcome; the hospital is planned as a regional referral centre, and referrals from other hospitals and health centres are accepted round the clock.

What to bring, and what happens on arrival

Bring what you can find quickly. Do not delay leaving to search for documents.

Helpful if available:

• Any identity card (Aadhaar, voter ID, or driving licence).
• Insurance or ESI card, or details of a corporate health scheme.
• Current medicines, or a list of them, and any recent prescriptions or reports.
• A mobile phone and charger, and the name and number of a family contact.

On arrival, the patient is assessed immediately and treated according to urgency—the most critical first. A member of staff will register the patient in the digital record and keep you informed. Treatment for a life-threatening condition begins before paperwork is completed.
