The pediatrics program at Shekhawati IVF Centre focuses on emergency care, same-day surgical procedures, and outpatient services. The Hospital offers the latest diagnostic technology and medical procedures for kids and delivers warm, personalized, cheerful care to our pediatric patients and their families.
Newborn Care
Many new parents experience the Pediatric Program at Shekhawati IVF Centre when their child is delivered in the centre. Once a child is born in the Hospital, pediatric care begins with a thorough examination of the newborn by a board-certified hospital paediatrician to ensure there are no immediate health problems. Part of this careful examination includes advanced newborn screening for more than 60 rare birth defects that, if detected and treated early, can prevent serious health problems in children and potentially save lives.
New and expectant parents and their little ones also benefit from a team of board-certified specialists, including paediatricians, neonatologists, and pediatric cardiologists on staff at the Centre. In addition, maternity nurses provide help counselling new parents with information on breastfeeding and performing basic newborn care.
Prevention And Wellness Program
In addition to pediatric clinical services, The Shekhawati IVF Centre offers a number of community-based programs that focus on disease prevention and wellness in our pediatric population.
Immunization Programme
Immunizations work by stimulating the immune system, the natural disease-fighting system of the body. The healthy immune system is able to recognize invading bacteria and viruses and produce substances (antibodies) to destroy or disable them. Immunizations prepare the immune system to ward off disease. To immunize against viral diseases, the virus used in the vaccine has been weakened or killed. To immunize against bacterial diseases, it is generally possible to use only a small portion of the dead bacteria to stimulate the formation of antibodies against the whole bacteria. In addition to the initial immunization process, it has been found that the effectiveness of immunizations can be improved by periodic repeat injections or "boosters." Also see Immunizations (in the plural) and Immunization of a specific type (such as Immunization, Polio).
