Because it’s the little ones who need all the care.
The department of Paediatric Surgery is a well-established unit in our hospital with a Paediatric surgeon available round the clock. The division offers dedicated surgical service to children. With the excellent newborn services in the hospital, we are able to perform major neonatal surgeries and are able to give very good post-operative care. Sick older children are taken care of in Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Post-operative care to them is given by the Paediatric surgeon along with an experienced Paediatric Intensivist.
As we have a very advanced Paediatric oncology division in the hospital, we regularly operate Paediatric malignancies. In fact, ours is the only center in South Tamil Nadu doing permanent life port insertions in large numbers, for administering chemotherapy in children. This is a milestone in care for children with cancer which has improved their quality of life.
DAY CARE PROCEDURES:
We have a dedicated paediatric operation theatre. For patients who undergo minor operations the patients are managed on a day care basis.
