Area of specialization: | I am into pediatrics and neonatology, and honestly most of my day is wrapped around caring for newborns and children who need close, careful monitoring. My work in neonatal intensive care means dealing with fragile preterm babies, high-risk deliveries, and conditions where every small decision counts. I handle respiratory support like CPAP, manage glucose infusions for unstable sugars, use phototherapy for jaundice, and perform exchange transfusion when it becomes necessary.
Emergency pediatric care is another part of my routine—convulsions, severe dehydration, respiratory distress—things that need immediate response. I try to keep my approach calm, systematic but also quick, cause waiting too long is not an option in these cases. Immunization and preventive care are also areas I care about, because keeping children healthy before illness shows up is always better than dealing with complications later.
My focus stays on combining evidence based protocols with practical judgement, and making sure families understand what’s happening at each step. Pediatrics isn’t only about treating, it’s about guiding parents, supporting them while their child is in crisis, and making choices that give the best chance at long-term health. |
Achievements: | I am proud that in my work I got to lead pediatric emergency responses and manage critcal care when things were at their worst in busy hospital setups. I worked on structured NICU protocols that helped improve survival for high-risk newborns, even small changes in process made big impact. I also trained and mentored doctors and nurses in neonatal + pediatric procedures, both at state level and in institutions. Along the way I was recognized for staying professional, patient-centered and ethical. |
I am a pediatrician with more than 8 yrs of day-to-day, real hospital based work mostly in govt setups where the patient load never really stops. My focus is on newborns, infants and children—everything from outpatient visits for coughs, fevers, nutrition issues to inpatient care for serious infections or complications. A big part of my work is in SNCU/NICU units, handling high-risk deliveries, premature babies, sepsis, respiratory distress—those fragile first days where tiny changes make a huge difference. Emergency pediatrics also takes up a lot of my time—convulsions, severe dehydration, acute asthma, injuries—you need to act fast, no second guesses. I’ve learned to balance calmness with urgency, which isn’t easy but crucial in child care. Growth and development monitoring is another area I take seriously. Many parents miss early delays, and catching them at the right stage can change outcomes long-term. I also run into preventive care often—vaccination drives, nutrition programs, awareness sessions in community health. These things may not sound dramatic but they keep kids healthier and reduce admissions later. For me, prevention is just as important as treatment. Alongside patient care, I’ve spent a good amount of time training juniors—doctors, nursing staff, support staff. Hospitals run on teamwork, and when standards slip anywhere, children suffer. I try to set clear protocols, explain the why behind each step, not just the how. Some days are draining, esp when despite everything a child doesn’t improve. But most days there’s progress—seeing a baby who was ventilated now feeding on their own, or a toddler gaining weight after months of struggle—that’s what makes this worth it. Pediatrics is not just about small patients, it’s about building healthier lives right from the start, and that’s what I want to keep doing.
