Paediatric Neurosurgery

Kids are not small adults.

Neurosurgical problems in children are distinct and requires a different set of knowledge and perspective. The treatment in any child primarily involves  around  delivering a comprehensive care towards a happy future.

Serving this goal is our division of Paediatric Neurosurgery, which is one of the very few dedicated divisions in the country treating neurosurgical problems in kids.

In the last decade, the division has emerged as one of the best and leading treatment and academic centres in the country for neurosurgical problems in children.

Our goal is to deliver a comprehensive care for kids afflicted with neurosurgical problems.
