Paediatrics & Neonatology
Child health, vaccinations and a NICU for newborns.
Nothing is harder than a sick child—except a sick child and a long road to the nearest specialist. Aravinda Hospitals & Advanced Medical Services is building a children's hospital service near Mahabubnagar on the NH44 corridor, so that newborns and children can receive specialist care close to home.
Our department is being developed to offer compassionate care for children and newborns, including a state-of-the-art NICU, with paediatricians and neonatologists working closely with obstetrics, anaesthesiology, and the emergency team.
Child and newborn care on the NH44 corridor
Children are not small adults; they need doctors, equipment, and an environment designed for them. Our paediatric service is planned to cover routine well-baby care, vaccinations, childhood illnesses, and the intensive care of premature and sick newborns, all under one roof.

These lists are educational. Your paediatrician will advise the care appropriate for your child.
Technology & facilities for children and newborns
Aravinda Hospitals is being equipped with a NICU adjacent to our labour and delivery suites, so that newborns needing support are cared for immediately after birth. Central monitoring and a medical gas pipeline system supply oxygen and continuous observation at every cot.
For older children, intensive care units, digital X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI are available on site, along with comprehensive laboratory services for rapid testing. Our 24×7 advanced emergency department receives paediatric emergencies at any hour.
