Paras Health emergency response service helps save lives in Kashmir

Srinagar, July 5: Amid a significant influx of tourists in Kashmir, multispecialty hospital Paras Health Srinagar has observed a surge in emergency cases.

These include trauma, accidents, drowning, and cardiac arrests.

The hospital's emergency department has been pivotal in saving lives, emphasising the importance of immediate medical intervention, particularly within the first hour after a heart attack, known as the "golden hour."

Recently, a 75-year-old male tourist, Radhey Shyam Gupta experienced a near-fatal incident while boarding a Shikara on Dal Lake. The tourist fell into the lake and was pulseless for around 15 minutes before reaching the Emergency Room (ER) at Paras Health. The skilled medical team acted swiftly and effectively resuscitated him and ultimately saved his life. In another incident, a 53-year-old female tourist, Bhartiben Manish Pandya, suffered a heart attack and collapsed in the washroom of her hotel room. The dedicated team at Paras Health managed to revive her.
