Paediatrics

Our care continues on the far side delivering your bundle of joy. MGM Hospital pediatric care is one of the best in the city, delivered by a team of specialists across medical specialty, neurology, and medicine and biological process pediatric medicine. We “get” kids! Children love coming back to MGM Hospital with its dedicated play areas, friendly doctors and engaging advisor rooms. The associate emergency response team is accessible 24×7, in the process making MGM Hospital Children’s Hospital the primary of its kind. A distinctive feature of the neonatal and pediatric care at MGM Hospital Hospitals is that the newborn screening, specifically the newborn hearing check and minstrel check. Fulfilling our aim to produce international standards of pediatric care, we are the sole medical facility within the country to produce these tests. Guthrie check, that is necessary for most developed countries, is completed to spot associate enzymatic or biochemical disorder in an otherwise traditional trying baby and proactively save the baby from any harm.

The consultants here are not only a source of medical care but also information, advice, compassion and support, working cohesively 24×7 throughout a year. At any given time, one of them is always available to treat your baby. The Hospital Management Software (HMS) shared by all the consultants, documents details of all children. Hence, whichever doctor examines the child at any stage is fully aware of the child’s history. So there is no reason to worry if your regular Paediatrician is away or not available in times of need.

A vaccination calendar is given to parents for the immunization schedule from birth up to age 16. We are the only hospital in India to maintain electronic records of the batch numbers of vaccines given to ensure traceability in times of need. Our hospital upholds the “cold chain” system that maintains optimal conditions during the transport, storage, and handling of vaccines, starting at the manufacturer and ending with the administration of the vaccine to the baby. Regular reminders/alerts are sent through SMS or by email to help with the follow up.

 

Being a baby friendly facility, MGM Hospital cares for children in a happy and relaxed atmosphere which relieves their anxiety and helps them through a speedy recovery. As playtime is an important part of the growth and healing process, we have a kid’s play area that is open to all kids coming to the hospital. The paediatric consultant’s rooms are full of toys and objects which attract kids and make every visit enjoyable for them.

We pride ourselves in being considerate of the small and simple needs of your family. We have taken into consideration even the siblings of the newborn, by creating a play area to make the transition smoother, as we know that it is a very sensitive and delicate time if you are welcoming another baby into your family.

 

Our Children’s outpatient department is open from 8am to 7:30pm, Monday to Friday and 9:00am to 8:00pm on Saturdays.

The MGM Hospital team also helps you keep to your schedule by sending regular reminders/alerts through SMS or e-mail about vaccination, milestone based reviews and subsequent appointments.
