Medical professionals, world over, from time immemorial, have been harping on the importance of TIME in case of medical emergencies. The Medical fraternity, on their part, have spoken of and publicized, on various platforms, the importance of reaching professional medical help to the effected in the shortest possible time, especially within the “Golden Hour”. Despite this, a large number of the effected continue to reach hospitals late either in a state of “brought dead” or “beyond revival”. The cause of delay in reaching the hospital can be attributed to the initial commotion and turmoil at the individual’s residence in searching for telephone numbers of hospitals/ambulances & passing on information of address & medical condition of patient. Activating the ambulance, briefing the staff of the location and condition of patient; ambulance negotiating through traffic and searching for the address adds tremendously to the time factor. Shifting of the stretcher borne unstable critical patient through small capacity lifts or very narrow winding stair cases to the ambulance takes its toll on the patient’s health condition and contributes to time. The final evacuating process completes with the ambulance reaching the hospital through traffic hurdles exhausting most or all of the “Golden Hour”.
Alive in the above backdrop Brookefield Hospital has enunciated and put in place a scheme to ensure maximum time of the “Golden Hour” is used optimally. The scheme nick named “BEAST” has been put together by putting together Man, Machine, Technology, Medical Equipment and Medicines together to form a composite, comprehensive & cohesive team with the sole objective of reaching out to patients with expert medical assistance at the earliest possible time by overcoming all inherent obstacles so as to optimally utilise the Golden hour thereby substantially increasing the survival chances
To reach the callers site, within the shortest possible time, fully equipped to render expert, monitored, medical attention aimed at stabilising the patient’s medical condition so as to evacuate him/her in a conducive environment for further management at the hospital.

The hospital hands over a magnetic sticker, inscribed with a dedicated emergency telephone number, and an assigned four digit identity number to be displayed on the refrigerator door at home and also as an “ICE” number in the cell phone. Calling the emergency number results in the call landing simultaneously on four individual telephone numbers, one would be that of the “BEAST” team leader and the other three being Emergency Response Team members of the hospital.
The “BEAST” team is equipped with a “Smart Rx app” on his phone, through which the entire past medical history, present treatment & treating hospital is readily available.
