Department Details
The Intermediate Care Unit is a 16-bed specialty unit designed for patients who need frequent
monitoring and advanced interventions but do not require the intensity of critical care. Our

post-operative surgeries, and acute but stable STEMIs and Non-STEMIs. We also manage

complex medical needs as they continue their recovery.
