The Paediatrics & Neonatology department cares for children from the first minutes of life through adolescence. Newborns, including babies born early or needing extra support after delivery, are reviewed by the paediatric team on site, and the hospital's 24/7 laboratory and radiology mean a sick child can be assessed and started on treatment without being sent elsewhere for tests.
Parents across Pragathi Nagar and Nizampet use the department for everyday concerns such as fever, cough, loose motions and feeding difficulty, as well as for routine immunisation and growth checks.

Questions patients ask
Is a paediatrician available at night?
Yes. A sick child can be assessed at any hour, because the 24-hour casualty has paediatric support. For a night or Sunday emergency, call +91 9666 469 911 before you leave home.
When should I bring my child to casualty rather than wait for OPD?
Come straight in for breathing difficulty, a seizure, persistent vomiting with no urine output, a fever with a rash or drowsiness, a fever under three months of age, or any injury you are worried about. Everyday fever, cough or cold can usually wait for the next OPD.
Do you give vaccinations, and do I need an appointment?
Yes, routine childhood immunisation is offered as per the standard schedule. Call +91 7288 080 222 to confirm the day's vaccine clinic timing and that the vaccine your child is due is in stock.
Can blood tests for my child be done in the hospital?
Yes. Haematology, biochemistry and pathology run in-house 24/7, so most routine tests are collected and reported during the same visit.
My baby looks yellow. Is that urgent?
Newborn jaundice is common, but it needs to be measured rather than judged by eye, and jaundice appearing in the first 24 hours, deepening quickly, or coming with poor feeding or drowsiness should be seen the same day. Bring the baby in for a bilirubin check.
