Senior Consultant & HOD
Paediatrics & Neonatology

 

Children under 18 years of age encompass a wide variety of age groups, including new born, infants, toddlers, early childhood and adolescence with varying health needs.

New born babies and children are among the most vulnerable age groups as they are often unable to communicate easily about the way they feel and the problems they face. To be an effective neonatologist or paediatrician, in these age groups, observation and experience are key in treating illness.

Older children and adolescents have other illnesses — some may be complex requiring extensive evaluation, some may not always be physical. Led by a team of highly skilled paediatricians, intensivists, emergency specialists and surgeons, supported by cutting-edge technology and a state-of-the-art facility, the Department of Paediatrics & Neonatology brings to you utmost compassion, care and comfort.
