Paediatrics
Complete care for each child to grow into healthy, happy and well-developed individuals.
Out-Patient Services
New-Born Care
Our paediatric care blends seamlessly with the birthing program to provide comprehensive care to the newborn. The delivery is attended by two paediatricians as per international norms. For normal deliveries, the newborn remains with the mother who is encouraged to start breast feeding within the first hour of life.
Cases in which maternal or neonatal complications are anticipated are discussed with the obstetricians, and the delivery time and method are optimized for best maternal and neonatal outcomes. A team of paediatricians and nurses provide 24×7 newborn care. For premature, low birth-weight and sick babies, care is provided in the advanced neonatal ICU that provides tertiary newborn care
Lactation Counselling
A team of educators provides support and advice regarding the various aspects of breast-feeding with the objective of ensuring exclusive breast-feeding for the first six months of life. Lactation advice is also covered in our Baby Care Workshop where we talk about how to manage the first year of a child’s life, when to begin weaning from breast milk and a lot more.
