At Deepa Hospital, our pediatric department provides care for newborns, infants, children and adolescents, led by our consultant pediatrician and neonatologist, Dr. T. Rino Sriram. From routine checkups and vaccinations to newborn care in our NICU, families in Ayapakkam and nearby areas turn to us as a trusted pediatric hospital in Chennai.
Why Pediatric Care Is Different
Children are not simply smaller versions of adults. Their bodies are continuously growing, their immune systems are still developing, and many childhood illnesses need specialised diagnosis and treatment. Regular visits to our pediatric department help identify health concerns before they become serious, track growth milestones, keep vaccinations on schedule, and support healthy development.

Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Childhood
A child’s healthcare needs evolve from infancy through adolescence. Our pediatric department provides continuous support throughout every stage of growth, with every consultation including evaluation of growth patterns, nutritional status, developmental milestones and overall wellbeing.
Newborn and Infant Care, Including NICU Support

Our newborn care includes:
- Monitoring and support for premature or high risk infants in our NICU
- Early screening to identify and treat medical conditions
- Guidance for parents on newborn care and feeding

Preventive Healthcare
Preventive healthcare focuses on protecting children from illness through regular checkups, timely vaccinations, nutritional counselling and developmental assessments. Routine visits let us monitor growth, spot nutritional deficiencies, and catch developmental delays early, so concerns are addressed before they become significant. Read more about pediatric health and developmental milestones.
Treating Common Childhood Illnesses
Children frequently experience common illnesses as their immune systems continue to develop, including fever, viral infections, respiratory illnesses, allergies, digestive problems, ear infections and skin conditions. Every child receives a thorough clinical assessment before treatment is recommended, with a focus on accurate diagnosis and close follow up. See our detailed guide on fever in children.
Managing Chronic Pediatric Conditions
Some children need ongoing care for conditions such as asthma, childhood diabetes, epilepsy, allergies and developmental concerns. We work closely with parents to manage these through regular consultations, medication adjustments and continuous monitoring as children grow.
A Child Friendly Healthcare Experience
A hospital visit can be overwhelming for a child, especially when unwell or visiting for the first time. We aim to make every child feel safe, communicating patiently with both children and parents and encouraging families to take part in their child’s care.
When Should Parents Consult a Pediatrician?
If your child develops persistent fever, difficulty breathing, repeated vomiting, poor feeding, severe cough, unexplained rashes, prolonged diarrhoea, unusual tiredness, delayed growth or noticeable behavioural changes, medical evaluation should not be delayed. Routine consultations matter even when a child appears healthy, to keep vaccinations current and catch concerns early.
Why Families Choose Deepa Hospital for Pediatric Care
Families across Ayapakkam and nearby areas choose Deepa Hospital as their pediatric hospital in Chennai for consistent, named care rather than a rotating team. Dr. T. Rino Sriram’s clinical focus, combined with our NICU and pediatric department, means your child’s growth, illnesses and checkups are handled by the same consultant over time.
