Children’s & newborn care at Medifirst, Ranchi.

From a newborn who needs intensive care to a toddler’s fever at midnight, your child is looked after by a paediatric team with a dedicated NICU, 24×7 emergency, and the full hospital behind them — all in Bariatu.

In short: Medifirst’s Paediatrics department, led by Dr. Jayaprakash, cares for children from birth onward — newborn and premature babies in a dedicated NICU, routine vaccination and growth checks, and 24×7 care for childhood fevers, infections and emergencies. Because it sits inside a multispecialty hospital with its own obstetrics unit, ICU and ambulance, a sick child or newborn is treated in one place, without transfer.

Why Medifirst for your child

The reason to choose a hospital paediatric unit over a standalone clinic is what stands behind it when a child is seriously unwell — and Medifirst has it.

A dedicated NICU

Newborn intensive care for premature and sick babies, with the obstetric team alongside — so the smallest patients stay here, not referred out.

24×7 emergency

A child’s fever or breathing trouble doesn’t wait for morning. Paediatric emergency care runs round the clock.

Inside a full hospital

Imaging, lab, ICU, an operating theatre and an ambulance all on site — everything a seriously unwell child might need, in one building.
