This new awareness campaign aims to educate the public on the importance of acting fast and choosing the right facility, highlighting the hospital’s role as a reliable destination for life-saving care.

Speaking about the campaign, Dr. Saktimaya Mahapatra, Hospital Director Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar, stated, “We believe that every second counts in an emergency. Our campaign is not just about raising awareness—it’s about reinforcing the message that timely, expert-led intervention can save lives. With our advanced infrastructure, expert specialists, and prompt response systems, we are committed to being one of the most trusted and capable centers for emergency and critical care in the region. Our goal is simple: to be ready when our community needs us the most.”

As part of its newly launched awareness campaign, Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar has strengthened its emergency preparedness with over 150 dedicated ICU beds, integrated within its advanced multispeciality infrastructure. These units are equipped with cutting-edge monitoring systems, high-end ventilators, bedside imaging, isolation beds, and ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) support, enabling the management of complex, life-threatening conditions such as multiorgan failure. Supported by a multidisciplinary team of skilled critical care specialists, the hospital follows stringent clinical protocols to ensure consistent, outcome-driven care across specialties.

The service offers real-time data transfer, live patient monitoring, and is equipped to handle everything from newborn transfers to air ambulance coordination for long-distance emergencies.
