From Pachpedi Naka on Dhamtari Road, we serve children from across Chhattisgarh from birth through to eighteen years with a clinical programme that covers everything from routine vaccinations and growth monitoring to intensive care for critically ill neonates and paediatric surgical management of complex congenital conditions. Our department was established with one explicit goal: providing high-quality, comprehensive paediatric treatment to every child, with care and compassion.

Treatments

At CARE CHL Hospitals, Raipur, we provide specialised paediatric care designed to support children from newborn care through adolescence:

• Neonatal Intensive Care: Mechanical ventilation and HFOV for severe respiratory failure; therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy; LED phototherapy and exchange transfusion for neonatal jaundice; total parenteral nutrition; continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring with specialist neonatal nursing.

Congenital defects from simple to complex are managed with approaches appropriate for the child's age and anatomy.

Our Expert Team of Paediatric Doctors 

At Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals, our paediatrics specialists bring together experience across newborn care, developmental medicine, childhood infections, respiratory conditions, nutritional disorders and paediatric emergency care, covering the full spectrum of a child's health from birth through adolescence.

Whether it is a routine wellness check or a complex condition requiring specialist input every child at Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals receives care that is thorough, age appropriate and genuinely compassionate.
