Paediatric Anaesthesia

To complement our paediatric surgical services, our Department of Paediatric Anaesthesia provides complete anaesthetic cover for all elective and emergency surgeries for children. We assist an average of 7,000 surgeries a year, among patients ranging from newborns to teenagers below 18 years of age.

We run a pre-anaesthesia care and counselling clinic for children requiring pre-operative consultation and optimization.
