Meet Our Team
Pediatric Doctors
Paediatricians providing complete child healthcare, from newborn care to adolescent medicine, at KG Hospital.
KG Hospital's Paediatrics team — comprising general paediatricians, neonatologists, and subspecialty consultants — provides comprehensive, child-friendly care in a nurturing environment designed to put children and parents at ease.
Children are not small adults — they have unique physiology, developmental needs, and healthcare requirements. KG Hospital's Paediatrics department is staffed entirely by specialists trained in child healthcare, from the tiniest premature baby in the NICU to the 17-year-old athlete in our sports medicine clinic.
We operate in a child-friendly environment — bright consultation rooms, dedicated paediatric wards, and family-centred care that keeps parents informed and involved at every step.
Parents are encouraged to stay with their child during admission. Our nursing team provides guidance on feeding, medication, and home care to empower families as partners in their child's recovery.
24/7 dedicated paediatric emergency with immediate access to NICU and PICU. Call 0422-4042121 at any hour.
Advanced neonatal intensive care for premature babies from 26 weeks, with ventilators, incubators, and therapeutic hypothermia.
Complete IAP 2023 schedule. All vaccines stored in WHO-compliant cold chain. Walk-ins welcome for catch-up vaccines.
Breathing problems are the most common reason children see a doctor. Our paediatricians assess cough, wheeze and fast or noisy breathing, and plan treatment ranging from inhaler and nebuliser therapy to oxygen and intensive care when needed. Children with asthma and recurrent wheeze get a long-term action plan to reduce flare-ups.
Most childhood fevers are caused by viral infections, but some need urgent care. Our team identifies the cause with targeted tests and treats infections such as dengue, typhoid, malaria, UTI and meningitis — with round-the-clock emergency cover for children who are unwell.
From vomiting and diarrhoea to long-standing tummy pain, poor weight gain or constipation, our paediatricians find the cause and treat it. Dehydration is managed promptly, and children with chronic digestive problems are evaluated for conditions such as celiac disease, reflux and inflammatory bowel disease.
Children with seizures, developmental delay or learning and behaviour concerns are assessed by our paediatric neurology team. Early diagnosis and therapy make a real difference, so we work closely with parents, therapists and schools on a long-term care plan.
Hormone and growth problems in children need specialist follow-up. Our paediatric endocrinology clinic manages Type 1 diabetes, thyroid disorders, short stature, early or delayed puberty and childhood obesity, with regular monitoring as your child grows.
Newborns who are premature or unwell at birth are cared for in our Level III NICU by neonatologists and specially trained nurses. We treat jaundice, breathing difficulty, infection and birth asphyxia, and support parents through every step until their baby goes home.
KG Hospital's paediatric infrastructure is purpose-built for children — not adapted from adult wards. Every piece of equipment is paediatric-specific, every nurse is paediatric-trained.
Dedicated neonatal intensive care for premature (from 26 weeks) and critically ill newborns, staffed by neonatologists around-the-clock.
Intensive care for critically ill children aged 1 month to 18 years, with continuous monitoring and advanced organ support.
Premature babies require specialist care in a Level III NICU. KG Hospital's neonatologists manage all complications of prematurity including respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), intraventricular haemorrhage, necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy, and feeding difficulties.
Jaundice affects up to 60% of full-term newborns. KG Hospital uses transcutaneous bilirubinometry for non-invasive screening and state-of-the-art LED double-surface phototherapy units. Exchange transfusion is available for severe cases.
Neonatal sepsis is a life-threatening emergency. KG Hospital's NICU protocol: immediate blood culture and CRP, empirical antibiotics within 1 hour, lumbar puncture if meningitis suspected, and targeted therapy guided by culture sensitivities.
Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) — brain injury from oxygen deprivation at birth — is treated with therapeutic hypothermia (brain cooling to 33–34°C for 72 hours). This is the only proven intervention to reduce brain damage and improve neurological outcome in term babies with moderate-severe HIE.
Our subspecialty paediatricians provide advanced care for children with complex or chronic conditions, all within a child-friendly environment with family-centred care.
Epilepsy, cerebral palsy, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, meningitis, movement disorders, and neurodevelopmental assessments.
Congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, murmurs, Kawasaki disease, and rheumatic fever. Echocardiography available.
Nephrotic syndrome, UTI and VUR, glomerulonephritis, hypertension, and acute kidney injury in children.
Dengue, typhoid, tuberculosis, hepatitis, meningitis, and emerging infections in children.
Thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, ITP, haemophilia, anaemia, and transfusion medicine in children.
Type 1 diabetes, growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, obesity, precocious puberty, and adrenal conditions.
