### Emergency medical care

In November 2012, a public interest writ petition was filed in the [Madras High Court](/wiki/Madras_High_Court "Madras High Court") citing the lack of a full\-fledged emergency medical care centre at the terminus. Further to this, the Southern Railway invited expression of interest from several hospitals in the city to establish a medical care centre.

On 15 April 2013, a new emergency medical care centre was opened. The centre has three beds, two doctors on duty and another on standby, four nurses, a paramedic team, and a round\-the\-clock ambulance. The centre is equipped with oxygen cylinders, an ECG, a defibrillator and resuscitation equipment. The terminus is the first railway station in the country to have facilities of an ambulance.


How many beds does the emergency medical care centre have?
