Desun Hospital, Kolkata
Desun Hospital, India’s only hospital with an operational rooftop helipad, conducted a comprehensive mock drill to evaluate its emergency preparedness and ability to manage critical patient scenarios effectively. The drill simulated the arrival of patients via both air ambulance and four-wheeler ambulance, focusing on swift transfer to the emergency room (ER) for immediate treatment.
The exercise involved two dedicated teams assessing the hospital’s readiness in handling complex medical emergencies. The simulated cases included patients suffering from severe injuries due to building collapse, extensive burns, and toxic chemical inhalation—conditions that require rapid triage and coordinated medical response. The drills were conducted under the guidance and leadership of Dr Sujoy Ranjan Deb, Medical Director, Dr Manjeet Kaur, HoD, Emergency Medical Services, and Mr Mridul Das, HoD, Security & Fire Safety.
This mock drill reflects our commitment to delivering the highest standard of care in emergency situations,” said Mr. Sajal Dutta, Chairman & Managing Director of Desun Hospitals Group. “Such preparedness exercises help us identify gaps, reinforce our protocols, and ensure our team is fully equipped to respond efficiently to any crisis.
The drill was carried out at the hospital’s helipad and emergency department, offering hands-on training for staff across departments. It provided an opportunity to practice real-time coordination, reinforce best practices, and strengthen the overall emergency response framework.
Desun Hospital remains committed to prioritizing patient safety and emergency readiness through regular drills and advanced training, ensuring a proactive approach to critical care deliver.
