The comprehensive approach eliminates the need for external referrals or transfers, making Manipal Hospital Whitefield a one-stop solution for even complex paediatric emergencies

Manipal Hospital Whitefield launched a dedicated Paediatric Emergency Bay within its emergency department, aiming to enhance the quality of care for young patients in a child-friendly and comforting environment.
 
The inauguration was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Vanshika Anjani Kashyap, Child Artist, and reality show Nannamma Superstar Winner, alongside the hospital's team of doctors, headed by Dr Ravi Shankar Swamy, Consultant - Neonatology and Paediatrics.

Dr Swamy noted, "Every year, we cater to thousands of paediatric and adult emergencies, and managing children with emergencies requires a unique approach. We understand that bringing a child to the emergency room can be stressful with long waiting hours and uncertainty amongst adult patients in emergency care. With our new Paediatric Emergency Bay, we are hopeful that children feel relaxed and supported during emergencies, while parents receive the assurance of quick and expert medical attention."

One of the key highlights of the facility is the innovative 'box-in-box' model. By integrating paediatric emergency services within the hospital's multi-speciality setup, the facility ensures seamless access to advanced imaging services like CT and MRI, as well as specialists in cardiology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, and more. The comprehensive approach eliminates the need for external referrals or transfers, making Manipal Hospital Whitefield a one-stop solution for even complex paediatric emergencies.
