Overview

The Department of Paediatrics is primarily concerned with the delivery of healthcare to children who come to Believers Church Medical College Hospital. In addition to diagnosing and treating serious and complicated illnesses, our department has been gradually expanding since inception and has a full functional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). We also have sub specialities like Paediatric Cardiology, Paediatric Pulmonology, Paediatric Endocrinology, Development Clinics and Paediatric Critical Care services. Our Paediatricians attend to all paediatric emergencies who visit the emergency department round the clock.
