The Pediatric department of MGMCRI was instituted in the year 2001 with a single unit. The department has grown steadily over the years and today has 4 fully functioning units along with an established neonatology division and a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Children up to 12 years of age attend the pediatric OPD, which functions from 8.30 A.M to 4.30 P.M on all weekdays and from 8.30 A.M until 1.00 P.M on weekends. Apart from the regular OPD services, there are special units that run on specific days of the week to attend to the needs of children who require special, individualized care. The in-patient unit consists of a spacious, well-ventilated, safe & secure 120-bedded ward at I block 3rd floor. The PICU is a six-bedded unit that is designed to provide non-invasive and invasive monitoring and intensive care to the most critically ill children. Two states of the art ventilators are available to provide both invasive and non-invasive modes of ventilation like CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). The ICU is replete with facilities to do continuous noninvasive monitoring of vital parameters and is equipped with infusions pumps, nebulizers, defibrillators, etc. to deliver optimum care.  The Division of Neonatology, MGMC & RI is a tertiary care unit equipped with state of art equipment meeting national standards and covered round the clock by doctors and nurses trained in neonatology. The unit provides routine newborn care to all babies born in this hospital as well as lifesaving treatment for premature, low birth weight and critically ill neonates as young as 27 weeks both inborn and outborn.
