Immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent serious harm or potential loss of life.

We want to raise awareness among our patients and their families about EMCs to ensure timely and appropriate actions in emergency situations.

Our dedicated healthcare professionals at TGH Urgent Care are equipped with the expertise and resources to assess EMCs and provide the necessary care. Your health and well-being are our top priorities, and we are here to support you in emergencies. Please remember to consult with a qualified healthcare professional for personalized medical advice and treatment.

What is EMC

EMCs can encompass a wide range of medical conditions, such as heart attack, stroke, severe bleeding, respiratory distress, severe allergic reactions, major trauma, severe burns, and many others. These conditions typically require urgent medical intervention to stabilize the patient and provide appropriate treatment.

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of an EMC is crucial to ensure timely medical assistance. If you or someone around you is experiencing severe symptoms that indicate an emergency, it is important to call the emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room immediately for evaluation and treatment.

It’s important to note that this response is for informational purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice. If you suspect you or someone else is experiencing an EMC, please seek immediate medical attention or contact emergency services in your country.
