A dedicated PICU for critically ill and severely injured children — continuous monitoring, advanced life support and round-the-clock intensivist-led care, with families kept close at every step.
A child arriving in a critical condition — struggling to breathe, in shock from an infection, or recovering from major trauma or surgery — needs more than routine care. They need continuous monitoring, rapid decision-making and a team trained specifically for pediatric emergencies. That is exactly what our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit is built for.
Our PICU team stabilises the child first, then works through a structured plan — continuous monitoring, targeted investigations and organ-specific support — while keeping parents informed and involved at every stage, adjusting care as the child's condition improves.
Critical Illness Needs a Team Trained to Respond
From respiratory failure to multi-organ support, our PICU is equipped to manage the full range of pediatric emergencies with continuous monitoring and a rapid, coordinated response.
Select a Condition
A rapid, structured approach to caring for critically ill children, from the first minutes of admission through to a safe transition out of intensive care.
On arrival, our team quickly assesses breathing, circulation and level of consciousness to identify how critical the child's condition is and begin immediate stabilisation.
A structured emergency assessment identifies the most urgent threats first, so life-saving action can begin within minutes of arrival.
Once stabilised, the child is connected to continuous monitors and undergoes targeted investigations to pinpoint the exact cause and extent of the critical illness.
Heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure and other vitals are tracked continuously, alongside lab and imaging tests, to guide precise treatment decisions.
Based on the diagnosis, our intensivists deliver targeted treatment — ventilation, medications, or organ-specific support — adjusting the plan continuously as the child responds.
Treatment is fine-tuned around the clock based on how the child is responding, with the full PICU team reviewing progress at every shift.
As the child stabilises, care shifts toward recovery, nutrition and rehabilitation planning, with families guided through a safe transition to the regular ward.
Once critical risk has passed, the team plans the next stage of care and keeps parents informed and prepared for what comes after the PICU.
Meet our team of experienced pediatricians and intensive care specialists committed to providing attentive, compassionate, and comprehensive critical care for children at every stage of growth.

Simple answers to common questions about our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and critical care for children.
A PICU is a specialised unit for critically ill or severely injured children who need continuous monitoring, advanced life support and round-the-clock care from a dedicated pediatric critical care team.
Children are admitted to the PICU for conditions such as severe breathing difficulty, sepsis or serious infections, seizures that will not stop, cardiac emergencies, major trauma, post-surgical recovery, or failure of one or more organ systems.
A dedicated team of pediatric intensivists, trained nursing staff and support specialists monitor and manage the child around the clock, adjusting treatment as the child's condition changes.
Yes. We understand how stressful critical illness is for families, so parents are kept closely involved and updated, with visiting arrangements that balance the child's medical needs with family presence.
The PICU uses continuous cardiac and respiratory monitoring, ventilators and advanced airway support, infusion pumps and other life-support equipment suited to a child's size and condition.
Length of stay depends entirely on the condition and how the child responds to treatment. Some children are stabilised within a day or two, while others with more complex needs require a longer, closely monitored stay before stepping down to a regular ward.
