Gurgaon: Following an internal study that revealed chest injuries account for nearly 70% of poly-trauma admissions in the NCR and are a leading cause of death among Indians aged 15-45 years, Medanta Hospital has launched a 24x7 chest trauma support service.
As per the news reports, the study, which analysed 114 chest trauma patients treated at Medanta between 2021 and 2025, found that many fatalities were not caused by delays in reaching hospitals, but by the lack of specialised care during the critical early hours of treatment. Road traffic accidents emerged as the primary cause, contributing to 42% of chest injury cases.
