The Department of Pediatrics at Raja Mirasdar Hospital specializes in the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents. This medical branch focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and disorders affecting individuals from birth to adolescence. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, family-centered care that addresses the physical, emotional, and social needs of children and adolescents.
Our department serves as a tertiary referral center for nearby medical colleges and caters to children from Thanjavur and adjoining districts, including Thiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Pudukkottai, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Mayiladuthurai, and some areas of Trichy district. We particularly serve a significant portion of the population from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, primarily engaged in agriculture.
The Pediatric Outpatient service sees an average of 300 children daily, with numbers surging to 500 during peak seasons. Annually, we attend to approximately 60,000 to 70,000 outpatients and 10,000 to 12,000 inpatients.
Our department also serves as a training ground for 10 postgraduate students and 150 undergraduate students each year, along with paramedical students such as BSc Physician Assistants, BSc Critical Care students, and nursing students from Thanjavur Nursing College and nearby institutions. We conduct weekly subspecialty clinics in cardiology, pulmonology, nephrology, neurology, and immunization, along with daily well-baby and high-risk follow-up clinics at the Newborn Follow-up OPD.
Our primary and specialty care services include:
