General
pediatric services at A4 Hospital provide medical care for kids and
adolescents, aged between 0 and 18. Our pediatric specialists offer a
comprehensive range of services from simple to complex, and acute to chronic
medical conditions. We, at A4 Hospital deliver care for both in-patient and
out-patient individuals across numerous clinical specialties, such as
Neonatology (the care for newborn babies), Cardiology (the care for
heart-related conditions), Developmental screening (the care for developmental
and behavioral disorders), and more.
When
it comes to treating children, it is quite different from treating adults as
their physiology and psychology are not similar. This applies even if both of
them have the same medical conditions. Our pediatricians are specialized and
well-trained in such specialties. Furthermore, our experts in pediatrics work
closely with families, physicians, and other multidisciplinary teams to provide
the best care possible to our little patients.
A4
Hospital has set a benchmark by equipping advanced facilities to deliver
excellent care through the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric
Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in the very same building. We also facilitate our
hospital with specialized emergency care for injured and sick children.
At
A4 Hospital, our patients are provided with premium facilities in specialty
care services including chronic conditions, acute conditions, and developmental
issues.
