Immediate Care for Accidents and Serious Injuries
Accidents and injuries can happen at home, on the road, at work, during sports, or in public places. Some injuries may appear minor at first but can involve internal bleeding, fractures, head trauma, or other serious complications.
New Padre Garcia Hospital provides emergency assessment and initial trauma care for patients affected by accidents and physical injuries. Our emergency healthcare team evaluates the patient’s condition, identifies urgent medical needs, provides appropriate treatment and stabilization, and determines whether further observation, admission, referral, or transfer is required.
Patients with life-threatening injuries are prioritized according to medical urgency.
The Emergency Department is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
