Resuscitation, triage and time-critical care, every hour of the day.
The emergency department at SIMS is the front door of the hospital and never closes. An emergency physician assesses every patient on arrival, assigns a triage priority and starts treatment before a specialist review is complete — because in heart attack, stroke, poisoning, severe trauma and sepsis, the first hour changes the outcome.
The resuscitation bay sits within a few steps of CT imaging, the cardiac cath lab, the laboratory and the intensive care units. That short distance is deliberate: a patient arriving with chest pain can have an ECG within minutes, cardiac enzymes sent, and be moved to the cath lab without leaving the building or waiting for a transfer.
For families from Guntakal, Tadipatri, Kadiri, Rayadurg and the Bellary border, the highway location means fewer minutes lost in traffic. Call 108 for an ambulance and ask to be brought to SIMS on the Bellary–Uravakonda–Anantapur Highway Road, near Roots Public School.
The presentations seen most often in this department. If your symptom is not listed, book a consultation anyway — the clinic will redirect you if another speciality fits better.
Equipment matters only when it is available at the moment of need. These services sit on the same campus, with laboratory and imaging cover round the clock.
Do not wait for an outpatient appointment if any of the following applies. Call 9281862028 or come straight to the emergency department, which is open 24 hours and does not require an appointment.
The right emergency doctor is the one whose experience matches your problem. At SIMS Hospital, Anantapur, emergency medicine care is provided by Dr. Jinka Venkata Durga Prasad (Consultant Emergency Physician). Book with a consultant by name, or describe your symptoms and the appointment desk will match you to the right specialist.
No. Emergency patients are seen without an appointment, day or night. Registration and payment formalities are completed after treatment has started for genuinely critical patients.
Call 108 for chest pain, stroke symptoms, breathing difficulty, seizures or major trauma. Ambulance crews can start oxygen, monitoring and basic treatment on the way, and they alert the hospital so the team is ready when you arrive.
Bring any current medicines or the empty strips, previous discharge summaries, ECG or scan reports, insurance card and one identity proof. If there is no time, come first — documents can follow.
