Pediatrician & Child Specialist Clinic Services Overview
Before your little one arrives, a great deal of preparation needs to be done, and choosing the right Pediatrician is one of the things you need to do. A Pediatrician is a medical doctor who specialises in the physical, behavioural and mental health of children right from birth till the age of 16. Pediatricians are trained to diagnose and treat a broad range of childhood-related illnesses and are thus, crucial to your little one’s health care.
While a regular physician can provide regular health care and treatment, the needs and requirements of a child are often specialised. Therefore, your young one must be given specialised care and services that are specifically dedicated to pediatric services. Our Pediatricians at Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital have specialised training in the fields of physical, emotional and behavioural needs of children. We also train our Pediatricians to recognise and treat childhood illnesses and infectious diseases which regular medical care professionals may not be able to treat. If your child needs specialised pediatric care due to premature birth or any other health condition in the period just after birth, our qualified Neonatologists are well-equipped to monitor and offer even more specialised care.
Our Patient Services
The healthcare needs and requirements of a child differ widely from that of an adult. Right from the time your child is born, till the age of 18, your child may require specialised care. Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital comprises a team of highly specialised medical professionals who are experienced in taking care of chronic disease management, acute illnesses, injury, mental or behavioural disorders and rehabilitation, offering your child a wide range of outpatient services.

PICU
It is not unusual for children to fall sick or even get injured during their childhood. During this time, your child requires specialised management to treat their disorder and aid in their recovery. Our pediatric urgent care centre is designed to provide sick, injured or recovering children with the highest level of medical care. Through this facility, your child will have complete access to intensive nursing care and continuous monitoring, which is crucial to their health and recovery.

With the best and most innovative medical equipment, we also aim to relieve pain and suffering in the most caring and respectful manner. In addition to the treatment that is being received, the unfamiliar environment can be stressful for your child. Escalating stress levels can hamper the treatment your child is receiving, which in turn, can affect their recovery. At Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital, our intensive care services are designed to provide a non-threatening environment that will ensure that your child feels completely safe.
Vaccinations
Right from the time of birth, till the age of 12, your child will be vulnerable to a host of diseases, viruses, and bacteria. At such a tender age, the body of your child may not have the required immune system to protect them from these communicable diseases. In an event, where your child may contract a disease or virus, the consequences may be dire. Certain diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and HVP still exist today, and can still be easily transmitted from one individual to another. In many parts of the world vaccine-preventable diseases are still common, and there is every chance of your child contracting them. To prevent such an occurrence, the ideal solution is to protect your child through vaccination. Vaccinations ensure that your child is immune to certain communicable diseases, thus preventing them from contracting it or even suffering from the effects of it. In the occasion where they come into contact with an infected individual, the vaccinated child will not be affected by the serious effects or complications.
