Pediatrics

Pediatrics is a medical specialty focused on the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to 18 years of age. It involves preventive health care as well as the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases. Pediatricians monitor physical, emotional, and social development, ensuring children grow into healthy adults. At Dr. Sankhwar Hospital, pediatric care is delivered with compassion and expertise, addressing issues ranging from minor illnesses to complex conditions. The pediatric department works closely with families to provide tailored care, vaccinations, nutritional guidance, and developmental screenings in a child-friendly environment.

Neonatology

Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that focuses on the medical care of newborn infants, especially premature or ill babies. Neonatologists are trained to manage high-risk situations such as low birth weight, birth defects, infections, and respiratory distress. At Dr. Sankhwar Hospital, the neonatology unit is equipped with advanced incubators, ventilators, and monitoring systems to support newborns requiring intensive care. The goal is to stabilize and improve newborn health through specialized interventions during the crucial first weeks of life, ensuring a healthy start for vulnerable infants.

Pediatric Immunization

Pediatric immunization refers to the process of vaccinating children to protect them from infectious diseases like measles, polio, hepatitis, and diphtheria. Vaccinations stimulate a child’s immune system to build resistance against harmful pathogens. At Dr. Sankhwar Hospital, a complete immunization schedule is followed as per the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) guidelines. Timely and safe vaccinations are administered with proper tracking and parental counseling. This proactive approach ensures children are protected against serious illnesses, contributing to public health and disease control.

Pediatric Nutrition

Pediatric nutrition focuses on providing appropriate dietary guidance to promote healthy growth and development in children. It includes personalized nutritional plans for newborns, toddlers, school-aged children, and adolescents based on age, weight, activity level, and medical conditions. At Dr. Sankhwar Hospital, pediatricians and nutritionists work together to prevent and treat issues like malnutrition, obesity, food allergies, and vitamin deficiencies. Parental education is emphasized to encourage healthy eating habits from an early age, ensuring children receive essential nutrients for optimal physical and mental growth.

Pediatric Emergency Care

Pediatric emergency care deals with immediate treatment for serious injuries, illnesses, or life-threatening conditions in children. Common emergencies include high fever, seizures, dehydration, asthma attacks, and trauma. Dr. Sankhwar Hospital offers 24×7 pediatric emergency services with trained specialists, resuscitation equipment, and child-friendly emergency rooms. The team ensures rapid diagnosis, stabilizing interventions, and continuous monitoring to provide quick relief and minimize complications.
