The inauguration was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Vanshika Anjani Kashyap, Child Artist, and reality show Nannamma Superstar Winner, alongside the hospital's team of doctors, headed by Dr. Ravi Shankar Swamy, Consultant - Neonatology and Paediatrics. Following the ceremony, Dr. Swamy addressed the gathering, highlighting the features of the Paediatric Emergency services and the hospital's commitment to improving healthcare access for children.
This dedicated emergency facility for children boasts vibrant, cartoon-inspired walls designed to create a friendly atmosphere that alleviates anxiety and fear among young patients. A paediatrician will be on duty around the clock, guaranteeing that children receive immediate medical attention without the delays often associated with traditional emergency services. This initiative responds to a key concern voiced by parents regarding the absence of a specialized paediatric emergency service. The new facility aims to provide a comfortable and efficient experience for both children and their families.
Dr. Ravi Shankar Swamy noted, "Every year, we cater to thousands of paediatric and adult emergencies, and managing children with emergencies requires a unique approach. We understand that bringing a child to the emergency room can be stressful with long waiting hours and a sense of uncertainty amongst adult patients in emergency care. With our new Paediatric Emergency Bay, we are hopeful that children feel relaxed and supported during emergencies, while parents receive the assurance of quick and expert medical attention."
One of the key highlights of the facility is the innovative 'box-in-box' model. By integrating paediatric emergency services within the hospital's multi-specialty setup, the facility ensures seamless access to advanced imaging services like CT and MRI, as well as specialists in cardiology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, and more. This comprehensive approach eliminates the need for external referrals or transfers, making Manipal Hospital Whitefield a one-stop solution for even complex paediatric emergencies.
Vanshika Anjani Kashyap AKA Little Pataki said, "I was a bit scared before coming to the hospital, but everything is so different here. I went around the new paediatric emergency room and felt really comfortable because it didn't even feel like a hospital. The doctors, nurses, and everyone was so nice and friendly. They even have my favourite cartoons painted on the walls."
The introduction of this new service marks another milestone for Manipal Hospital Whitefield, as it strives to establish new standards in healthcare delivery. By providing high-quality, patient-focused care, the hospital enhances the overall healthcare experience for children within the community.
