In the case of bringing your child in an emergency to Medicsi, please do not call Medicsi Main Reception, Emergency Department (ED), or your consultant (if you have one assigned at Medicsi). On average, at least 30 minutes are wasted before a child is brought to the ED due to unnecessary phone calls.
It is important that you bring your child’s history book given to you at birth at Medicsi or where your child was born.
If the condition of the baby is such that you can wait, it is always better to have someone to accompany you when you bring your child to the hospital. Having your husband with you or another family member besides yourself gives you breathing space in case the child has to be kept in the ED or admitted to a hospital for some time. We all understand how difficult it is to bring your child to the hospital when they are sick. It can be a very stressful situation and we at Medicsi, with your help, will endeavour to make the journey as smooth as possible.

Locations of Medicsi Emergency Departments:
Bahria Hospital: Ground Floor
Jinnah Super Medicsi: 3rd Floor
On arrival at ED:
When you bring your child to the ED, the nurse will take the vitals of the patient and enquire about a brief history of the child’s illness. Most of the treatment will be managed by the on-call duty doctors; however, the consultant can be contacted if needed by the on-call team.
If any blood tests are taken for investigations and you are sent home, they will be reviewed by the medical team. You will be contacted in case of abnormal results or if any further management is required. If for any reason this is not communicated, you can collect your test results on the phone or in person.
