Paediatric Hospital in Kurla, Mumbai

CritiCare Asia Hospitals provides care for children from infancy through adolescence, from everyday illnesses to more specialised concerns. Children are not simply smaller adults, because their conditions present differently and progress at a different pace. CritiCare Asia Hospitals is a paediatric hospital in Mumbai where each child is first examined, and the findings are explained to parents in simple words. Medical terms are explained the first time they come up, so that families are never left guessing. Our Kurla centre offers paediatric treatment in Kurla, Mumbai for common illnesses as well as conditions needing a specialist, intending to catch problems early and treat them appropriately.

Our Approach to Paediatric Care

Parents should know what to expect before they walk in. The doctor tells the family what the examination found, which tests are needed and why, and what each step is likely to involve. Insurance and cashless questions can be raised at the helpdesk at the start, so there are no surprises later. Beyond this, care is built around telling apart what needs attention now from what can be safely watched, since a child's condition can shift quickly in either direction. This includes:

  • Examination suited to the child's age and symptoms, not one routine applied to everyone
  • Medicine as the first treatment for most conditions
  • Specialist input quickly arranged for orthopaedic, oncology, endocrinology, neurology and urology concerns
  • Vaccination and prevention advice at every visit
  • Plain explanations for parents at each stage
  • Follow-up to track recovery and spot recurring problems early

Conditions We Treat

  • Respiratory Conditions
    bronchitis and bronchiolitis, which are infections of the airways, are common reasons for a visit, especially after the monsoon. Bronchiolitis affects the smaller airways and is mostly seen in infants and toddlers, often with wheeze and fast breathing.
  • Infectious Diseases
    chickenpox, measles, mumps and rubella remain part of routine practice. Each has its own pattern of rash, fever or swelling, and each can cause complications if not watched.
  • Paediatric Orthopaedics
    bone, joint and muscle problems in a growing skeleton, such as fractures, growth-related pain and limb conditions present from birth.
  • NICU and PICU Care
    intensive care for newborns and for older children who are seriously ill.

Treatments & Procedures

  • Clinical Assessment and History-Taking
    the starting point for every case, since a detailed history often narrows the diagnosis before any test is ordered.
  • Age-Appropriate Diagnostic Testing
    tests chosen for what the child's age and symptoms actually call for, avoiding unnecessary ones.
  • Vaccination and Preventive Care
    routine immunisation reviewed and given, with catch-up schedules where needed.
  • Medical Management
    the first line of treatment for most paediatric conditions.
  • Specialist Referral and Coordinated Care
    the paediatrician and the specialist plan together when a condition needs it.
  • Ongoing Monitoring
    many developmental, hormonal and neurological conditions are tracked over time and not settled in one visit.

Meet Our Paediatric Specialists

Each child is assessed individually, since three children with the same complaint can need three different approaches. Age, development and the pattern of symptoms all count. Where a condition needs a specialist, referral follows promptly instead of after long observation, and parents are told what was found and why a particular step is advised.
