The Department of Pediatrics comprises of well qualified and experienced team of doctors. We offer out-patient and in-patient services. We have trained nurses in respective sub-specialties to ensure a good outcome to match the best statistics. Department of Paediatrics was established since the beginning of Hospital. The services available in the department are outpatient, inpatient, neonatal, intensive care unit and paediatric intensive care unit. Up to 2000 children are born every year in the hospital. 20 percent of all the new-borns are at high risk and need level-II or level-III care during their stay in the hospital. The faculty is considered to be of highest calibre in the district and periphery. The body size differences are paralleled by maturation changes. The smaller body of an infant or neonate is substantially different physiologically from that of an adult. Congenital defects, genetic variance, and developmental issues are of greater concern to paediatricians than they often are to adult physicians. A common adage is that children are not simply "little adults". The clinician must take into account the immature physiology of the infant or child when considering symptoms, prescribing medications, and diagnosing illnesses. A major difference between the practice of paediatric and adult medicine is that children, in most jurisdictions and with certain exceptions, cannot make decisions for themselves. The issues of guardianship, privacy, legal responsibility and informed consent must always be considered in every paediatric procedure. Paediatricians often have to treat the parents and sometimes, the family, rather than just the child. Adolescents are in their own legal class, having rights to their own health care decisions in certain circumstances. The concept of legal consent combined with the non-legal consent (assent) of the child when considering treatment options, especially in the face of conditions with poor prognosis or complicated and painful procedures/surgeries, means the paediatrician must take into account the desires of many people, in addition to those of the patient.
