Our team of dedicated consultants, residents and nurses are committed to provide evidence-based quality care with compassion. We offer Outpatient, Inpatient and Emergency care services. Our services are ably supported by multi-disciplinary specialty and super specialty departments, 24x7 central lab and imaging facilities.

In addition to health care needs, vaccination services are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. We conduct specialty clinics on specific days for children with special requirements. Children admitted to our department are cared for 24x7. All deliveries are attended by doctors trained in neonatal resuscitation. Emergency services are available through casualty.
