Apollo Children's Hospital, Chennai

Apollo Children's Hospital is a dedicated child health facility in Thousand Lights, Chennai. The 70-bed hospital is located near Apollo's Greams Road campus. It serves infants, children and adolescents through general paediatrics, specialist consultations, inpatient treatment and surgery. The setting is designed for children with both common illnesses and complex conditions that require several clinical teams.

Its specialties include paediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, gastroenterology, urology, pulmonology, nephrology, orthopaedics and oncology. Neonatology and paediatric emergency medicine are also part of the clinical mix. A child with a complex diagnosis can therefore be assessed by the relevant subspecialty, with surgical input when indicated. The hospital describes dedicated transplant programmes and selected minimally invasive and robotic surgical services.

Paediatric emergency facilities are equipped for acute medical and surgical presentations. They include a resuscitation bay, trauma area, point-of-care ultrasound, child-sized equipment, radiology and CT access. The emergency service lists care for injuries, burns, poisoning, severe infections and breathing difficulties. A paediatric intensive care unit supports children who need invasive or non-invasive monitoring, advanced airway management or organ support. Its listed capabilities include haemofiltration, dialysis and ECMO.

Specialist intensive care may also be needed after congenital heart surgery or other major procedures. The hospital identifies high-dependency care, cardiac critical care and neonatal services alongside its wider paediatric departments. Patients whose needs change during admission can be reviewed by several teams in the same dedicated children's environment. The Chennai facility may be relevant to families seeking paediatric surgery, heart or neurological care, emergency treatment or intensive care for a child.
