After the training he has dedicated full time practice round the clock to manage critically ill patients. Medical council of India (MCI) has recognized critical care specialist as super specialists. Until now critical care medicine was a disorganized medical branch. Critical care medicine requires a continuous uninterrupted medical monitoring and management through a team which has a vision and expertise to do timely diagnosis and interventions to prevent further progress of the disease. It is not possible to deliver it remotely or through 10-15 minutes of consulting on OPD basis. So to execute real time critical care, we have created a team of dedicated qualified critical care specialists under the banner of “Intensivist Consultancy”.
