Emergency hospital care can mean the difference between life and death. Whether it’s a heart attack, stroke, road accident, or severe breathing crisis, the hospital you reach first determines the outcome. Health1 Super Speciality Hospitals operates two emergency departments on SP Ring Road, Ahmedabad: at Shilaj (western SP Ring Road) and Vastral (eastern SP Ring Road), providing 24/7 emergency care accessible from anywhere along the city’s busiest arterial road.
What Makes Health1’s Emergency Department Different?
Health1 Shilaj’s Emergency Department is backed by one of the largest critical care setups in the area: 18 ICU beds and 5 Transplant ICU beds ensuring immediate access to intensive monitoring and life-support. The ER is staffed 24/7/365 with emergency physicians, duty anaesthesiologists, and on-call specialists across all major departments. Key capabilities include a fully equipped trauma bay with immediate CT, MRI, and X-ray access, a cardiac catheterisation lab for emergency angioplasty, a neurology and neurosurgery team for stroke intervention, an orthopaedic trauma team for fracture and polytrauma management, and a 24-hour blood bank.
Common Emergencies Treated
Heart attacks and acute coronary syndromes receive immediate cathlab intervention with rapid door-to-balloon times. Stroke (brain attack) is treated within the golden hour by our interventional neurology team using IV thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy for eligible patients. Road traffic accidents and polytrauma are managed by trauma surgery, orthopaedic, and neurosurgery teams working in coordination. Severe respiratory distress including pneumonia, COPD, and acute asthma is managed with advanced ventilatory support in the ICU.
Two Locations, One Ring Road
Health1 Shilaj covers western Ahmedabad (Thaltej, Bopal, Satellite, SG Highway corridor). Health1 Vastral covers eastern Ahmedabad (Vastral, Nikol, Naroda, Odhav). Both are on SP Ring Road, meaning an ambulance from almost anywhere in Ahmedabad reaches one of the two within 15 to 20 minutes.
