Pediatric Care Plan

As child experts, we cannot stress enough on ensuring overall development of children.

Through our Pediatric Care Plan, we focus on not just their physical growth but also on their nutrition, cognitive, communication and social skills. We also ensure their emotional well being by providing preventive/promotive guidance on need basis.

The plan picks up the most essential elements from various national and international guidelines ( IAP, AAP and Bright Futures guidelines) and integrates them into the Indian context using the vast experience of our experts.

It includes an array of Behavioral/Development Assessments, screenings, counsellings and lab tests which are internationally recommended for every baby but customized to your child’s needs.

To ensure that the benefit of this care plan reaches the maximum number of families in the best possible way, we introduced the concept of ‘Child Health Educators‘. They are specially trained in lactation counseling, nutrition and child development to be able to help you provide the best parenting care to your child in a friendly peer-interactive sort of way.

Every parent and caregiver makes genuine efforts to prevent little ones from falling sick. Despite your best efforts, there are times that children may need to be admitted under the care of a medical expert.

During your stay we strive to make things as smooth and comfortable as possible while we continue to make every effort to send your child home as soon as possible.

To help the baby recover best, we have a team of experts in General Pediatrics, Pediatric Intensive Care, Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Pulmonology, Pediatric Endocrinology, Neonatology, Child Psychology and Pediatric Neurology.

We lay great emphasis on providing baby friendly nurses and supportive care to minimize your troubles.

We understand the hesitation of parents to visit a hospital in the midst of  a pandemic and therefore offer the option of a video teleconsultation.

If your child is very sick and you are unsure of the need to visit the hospital, we also offer the option of an emergency video teleconsultation. Through this, you will be able to get advice from a pediatrician who will guide you on the best course of action.

Please call 011 4211 1111 to arrange a regular or emergency teleconsultation.

Our Maternity and Pediatric teams work closely together to help you give birth with minimum interventions. We help you initiate skin to skin contact and breastfeeding within the first hour of birth (known as the sacred hour) that not only helps mother and child bond but also has immense benefits for both.

Our philosophy of ‘natural childbirth and safe nurture’ forms the basis of our approach toward child care.
