Department of Pediatrics was established in the year 1988 under the able guidance of renowned Professor Dr M. Jayaram. The main objective of the department is to provide high quality and affordable medical care for neonates, infants, children and adolescents. The department has excellent infrastructure with a state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Pediatric Ward.
