Emergency Codes

Code White: This is activated in the event of a stroke. It prompts immediate mobilization of our stroke team, ensuring rapid diagnosis and treatment to minimize brain damage and optimize recovery for the patient.
Code Blue: This is called in cases of cardiac arrest, triggering an urgent response from our resuscitation team. We have well-established protocols to provide life-saving interventions, including the use of our automated CPR machine and advanced monitoring equipment.
Code Yellow: This is declared during a disaster situation, such as mass casualties or a large-scale emergency. It activates our hospital’s disaster response plan, coordinating resources and personnel to manage the crisis efficiently and ensure care is provided to all affected individuals.
