Where Every Second Counts, Compassion Meets Critical Care
Our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is specially designed to treat infants, children, and adolescents who are critically ill or require intensive medical attention.
What is a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)?
The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a specialized area in the hospital equipped with advanced technology and staffed by a team of trained pediatric intensivists, nurses, and support staff. It is dedicated to the care of children facing life-threatening medical conditions or requiring continuous monitoring and treatment.
Unlike a general pediatric ward, the PICU offers a higher level of care, with constant observation, rapid intervention capabilities, and child-specific equipment to stabilize and manage emergencies efficiently.

A child is admitted to the PICU when they are critically ill, unstable, or require continuous intensive care and close monitoring. Conditions like severe infections, respiratory failure, trauma, or complex surgeries warrant PICU admission.
Children in the PICU are cared for by a team of trained pediatric intensivists, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, and other pediatric specialists, all working together to ensure optimal outcomes.
