Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Overview
Intensive care for a child is very different compared to care for an adult. From the diagnosis to the treatment, a child needs special and customised care. A child is kept under the supervision of a critical care specialist or intensivist trained in pediatric care.

The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Sitaram Bhartia has been established with an aim to provide care for sick children between 1 month old infants to 15 year old adolescents for critical needs or emergencies.
