The DEM provides a comprehensive emergency service to all patients presenting to the department on a 24 hour basis.

DEM staff are specialized emergency healthcare providers who have advanced qualifications and experience.

The department is able to provide rapid resuscitation, stabilization and transfer of critically ill patients.

The department provides disaster care to the community in the event of major incidences. In addition to this the department is an accredited Chest Pain Center.
