Best Paediatric/Children Hospital in Indore

Paediatrics is the medical speciality dedicated to the health and disease of children from birth through adolescence. Paediatricians manage childhood infections, neonatal conditions, respiratory disorders, cardiac disease, neurological conditions, renal conditions, endocrine disorders, nutritional problems, developmental and behavioural conditions, allergy and childhood malignancy. At CARE CHL Hospitals, Indore, the department covers both general paediatrics and subspecialty paediatric medicine within the same programme.

Routine visits are for growth monitoring, developmental checks and vaccinations. Seek paediatric assessment for fever beyond two to three days, breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting or diarrhoea, refusal to feed, unusual drowsiness, a rash with fever, ear pain and developmental concerns. For high fever with a seizure, laboured breathing or rapid deterioration attend the Emergency Department immediately.

CARE CHL Hospitals, Indore provides a comprehensive paediatric programme with trained paediatricians and neonatologists, Level III NICU, PICU, paediatric subspecialty clinics, child development assessment, vaccination and preventive child health, and 24-hour emergency paediatric cover within a single institution

Paediatric services available are:

• General paediatric outpatient care
• Vaccination and immunisation
• Level III NICU; PICU
• Subspecialty paediatric clinics in cardiology, neurology, nephrology, pulmonology, gastroenterology and endocrinology
• Child development assessment
• Nutritional evaluation and dietetic support
• Emergency paediatric care with specialist input at all hours.

Yes our newborn care services include routine neonatal assessment at birth, jaundice management with phototherapy, congenital condition screening, breastfeeding support and Level III NICU admission for premature or high-risk neonates. The neonatal team works directly alongside the obstetric team for high-risk deliveries, with immediate NICU admission when a newborn requires intensive care.

Yes. The full National Immunisation Schedule and IAP-recommended vaccines are available at every visit including BCG, hepatitis B, OPV, pentavalent, rotavirus, PCV, IPV, MMR, varicella, typhoid and hepatitis A. Vaccination records are maintained and parents are guided on schedule adherence at each clinic appointment.

Attend the Emergency Department immediately for a febrile seizure, laboured or rapid breathing with lip discolouration, loss of consciousness or extreme drowsiness, refusal to feed in a neonate with temperature instability, a non-blanching rash with fever, signs of severe dehydration, a bulging fontanelle in an infant, anaphylaxis, and significant head, chest or abdominal trauma.

Yes. Respiratory infections, pneumonia, UTIs, gastroenteritis, typhoid and dengue are managed with investigation and treatment matched to the clinical presentation and severity. Allergic conditions including rhinitis, food allergy, eczema and asthma are assessed and treated based on clinical diagnosis. Asthma is managed with spirometry, inhaler therapy and a personalised action plan rather than repeated empirical prescription adjustments.

Regular wellness check-ups do several things that a visit for illness cannot: they track growth against centile charts over time, which is the earliest indicator of nutritional and endocrine problems; they identify developmental delay at an age when intervention is most effective; they maintain vaccination coverage; and they give parents the opportunity to raise concerns they might not bring to an acute visit. Many of the conditions that are easiest to manage are the ones identified at a routine check rather than when they become clinically apparent.

Look for trained paediatricians and neonatologists rather than general physicians; a Level III NICU and PICU on-site rather than shared general ICU beds; paediatric subspecialty services accessible within the institution; continuous emergency paediatric cover; and vaccination, developmental screening and nutritional assessment built into routine care rather than arranged separately.

Yes. Emergency paediatric cover at CARE CHL Hospitals, Indore operates without interruption. Febrile seizures, respiratory distress, severe dehydration, anaphylaxis, meningitis, diabetic ketoacidosis and acute injuries in children are all managed with trained paediatric input at any hour. Critically ill children are admitted to the PICU where required.

• Full blood count and blood cultures
• Urine analysis and culture
• Metabolic panels and inflammatory markers

Yes. Neonatologists manage premature and high-risk newborns in the Level III NICU. The child development clinic assesses developmental delay, autism, ADHD and learning disabilities with structured tools and early intervention planning. Nutritional care for malnutrition, failure to thrive, micronutrient deficiency and obesity is provided with structured dietetic input particularly relevant given the regional prevalence of nutritional problems in children across Madhya Pradesh.

Yes. The Level III NICU manages premature infants from 28 weeks, very low birth weight neonates, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal sepsis, hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy and jaundice requiring exchange transfusion. The PICU manages critically ill children beyond the neonatal period with mechanical ventilation, haemodynamic monitoring and intensivist cover running continuously.

Yes. Growth concerns are assessed with anthropometric monitoring and investigation for endocrine or nutritional contributors. Developmental concerns are evaluated across motor, language, cognitive and social domains using standardised tools. Behavioural conditions including ADHD, autism and childhood anxiety are managed with structured clinical assessment, family involvement and multidisciplinary support. 

Yes. The Level III NICU provides mechanical ventilation and CPAP for respiratory failure, therapeutic hypothermia for birth asphyxia, phototherapy and exchange transfusion for jaundice, total parenteral nutrition and full neonatal sepsis management. Parents are kept closely involved in their baby’s care from admission through to discharge.

Children with recurrent infections are investigated for underlying causes like immunodeficiency, anatomical factors, allergic conditions or nutritional deficiency rather than given repeated antibiotic courses without addressing the root cause. Chronic illnesses including asthma, epilepsy, Type 1 diabetes and nephrotic syndrome are managed with structured disease-specific protocols and consistent long-term monitoring by the paediatric team.

CARE CHL Hospitals, Indore provides Level III NICU, PICU, paediatric subspecialty clinics, child development assessment, vaccination and emergency paediatric cover that are accessible to patients from across Indore and the wider Madhya Pradesh region.

Yes. Second opinion consultations are available for complex diagnoses, chronic paediatric conditions, developmental concerns and treatment plans parents wish to have reviewed independently.

Yes. Paediatric cardiology covers echocardiographic assessment and management of congenital and acquired heart disease, with surgical coordination for operative cases. Paediatric nephrology manages nephrotic syndrome, haematuria, recurrent UTIs, hypertension and kidney disease in children. Paediatric neurology covers epilepsy, cerebral palsy, meningitis, encephalitis and neurodevelopmental disorders. All three subspecialties are available within CARE CHL Hospitals, Indore.

Nutritional deficiencies like iron, vitamin D, B12, zinc and iodine are identified through clinical assessment and targeted blood testing and managed with supplementation and dietary guidance. Childhood obesity is assessed with anthropometric measurement, dietary evaluation and investigation for secondary endocrine causes. Management covers structured dietary and lifestyle intervention, family counselling and, where indicated, specialist endocrinology input. This is a particular clinical focus given the prevalence of both under- and over-nutrition in children across Madhya Pradesh.

Keep vaccinations up to date - this is the single most impactful thing a parent can do for a child's immunity. Ensure adequate nutrition including iron-rich foods, calcium and vitamin D, particularly in the first two years. Practice hand hygiene, especially before meals and after outdoor activity. Avoid unnecessary antibiotic use for viral illness as it does not help and disrupts the gut microbiome. Bring the child for scheduled wellness check-ups rather than only when unwell. Report any new or persistent symptom promptly rather than waiting to see if it settles.

Yes. Preventive child healthcare at CARE CHL Hospitals, Indore covers scheduled wellness check-ups at defined intervals aligned with the national schedule and developmental milestones, the full vaccination programme, growth and nutritional monitoring, developmental screening, vision and hearing assessment and dental referral.
