ue to advances in medical science and technology, there are dramatic positive changes in the scope and reach of child health care in the country. Further enhancement in healthcare knowledge and more research in the area of child psychology, including the emotional responses of children, is paving the way for better diagnostics and prevention of many severe diseases and disorders. A healthy baby or child means when an individual meets in with the basic minimum nutritional, physical, physiological, psychological, intellectual, and social aspects of their own well-being appropriate to their age and gender. When a child or a baby experiences disturbance of any of its activity or prevention in an appropriate level of functioning, that child is supposed to be not feeling well. Here in comes childcare clinics into the situation and are

supposed to provide modern child healthcare which concentrates, focuses, and emphasizes upon continuous and wholistic childcare. As per the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), children’s primary needs are not restricted to only nutritional but must include and ensure a broadbased, long-term, and holistic personal and social development.
automation, artificial intelligence, data analysis, cloud computing, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), machine learning, EMR/EHR, robotic process automation, telemedicine, etc. Using these ultramodern technologies, they create a unified childcare ecosystem, which is wellequipped to tackle the personal, holistic care that UNICEF is propagating.
Apart from governmental childcare centres, local, private childcare units can play and are playing an essential role in this regard. These childcare clinics are not only treating or attending to children who are coming into their local, regional centres but also providing basic healthcare options delivered at home too, as seen especially during the pandemic times.
To gauge their exact preparedness in terms of futuristic childcare, Insights Success has come up with this brand new edition titled ‘India’s Best Child Care Clinics’, which depicts their extraordinary tales along with two trendy articles written by our in-house editorial team.
These clinics are upgrading themselves according to the changing times. They embrace all the significant technological and medical advancements like digitalization,

hild healthcare is the most important sector of all. It takes precise knowledge and excellence to be in the healthcare arena. As everyone saw the advent of COVID-19, people were more worried about kids. As there were no vaccinations available for children, people got concerned about the ongoing situation. In these difficult times, AMRI Hospitals played a vital role in helping children who were facing any kind of health issues.
in Eastern India, regaining the confidence of patients, doctors, and other stakeholders. With Mr Barua at the helm, the group has set itself on a fast-track path of growth and has taken up major expansion plans across the East and Northeast. Visionary Outlook
During COVID when people did not find proper healthcare services, AMRI stood tall and served each and every patient they got. This outstanding handling of problems was possible because of Mr Rupak Barua, Director and Group CEO of AMRI.
AMRI Hospital's paediatric clinical services are part of the larger hospital group, where particular focus is given on the health and wellbeing of both the child and mother by providing comprehensive services, including a number of specialised clinics. The paediatric clinics are placed in a separate area, away from general clinics, that boasts of a child-friendly vibe and a play area.
He took charge of AMRI in 2014 after the group faced a major setback in 2011, but his focussed and targetoriented leadership skills ensured that he succeeded in redefining AMRI as the fastest growing healthcare network
AMRI's USP is its family-friendly, child-centric approach to bringing the best quality care to children, starting from the time they are born. They also offer comprehensive critical care services, from the moment of birth
AMRI will also be putting stress on creating awareness about the need for vaccination among children, for both COVID and other ailments.
through its Neonatal ICU and to older children at the Paediatric ICU, where a multi-disciplinary approach is taken with the help of specialists from various disciplines. Delivering the Best Going beyond competition, AMRI's motto is to provide the best services, backed by excellent clinical outcome and advanced technologies, under the stewardship of an outstanding roster of specialist doctors, with support from well-trained nurses and technicians. The paediatric clinics at AMRI are run by an all-rounder team, covering all major paediatric sub-specialities, with an experienced consultant at the lead of an individual clinic. Apart from general paediatric clinics, AMRI also runs theme-based clinics, like Well Baby Clinic, Enuresis Clinic, Nephro-Urology Clinic, and Asthma Clinic, among others. The comprehensive medical team is fully supported by paramedical departments, including paediatric physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, audiology, paediatric ophthalmology service, and paediatric dentistry. The hospital also has holistic support from round-the-clock in-house investigation services, such as paediatric echocardiography, EEG, MRI, CT scan, Ultrasound, etc. A Journey to Look up to A healthcare professional for more than three decades, Mr Rupak Barua completed a diploma in marketing after graduation, followed by management development programmes at the Singapore Management University, IIM-Ahmedabad, and IIM-Bangaluru. He has held several senior administrative positions at major corporate hospitals in Kolkata and is
currently President of the Association of hospitals of Eastern India (AHEI). He is also the Chairman of CII's Healthcare Sub-Committee (Eastern Region) and a National Expert in the Indian Chamber of Commerce's Healthcare Committee. He has played an important role in transforming the healthcare delivery system of Eastern India. Making the Most of Technology As the old adage goes, change is inevitable, and it is noticeable in every aspect of people's lives. It's easy to predict that the future will be rewritten by digitization and AI as the use of advanced technologies is increasing. Digitalization of healthcare has greatly helped in streamlining treatment protocols and investigations, adding to the positive and patient experience for
Our focus is on quality healthcare at an affordable cost, which will be further aided by the use of advanced digital tools.
the last few years. This can only be scaled up, as earlier treatment platforms are upgraded, and more advanced ones are introduced. Much of AMRI's products and services for patients are already on digital platforms, and its teams are actively encouraged to decrease carbon footprint besides looking at more sustainable solutions. Ensuring Safety and Good Health Even though the pandemic led to a lot of disorder, given the initial lack of knowledge about the virus, AMRI managed to find its foothold soon. It started by making significant changes to the infrastructure and modified its SOPs to meet the needs of the hour. AMRI set up isolation wards, formulated fresh protocols for treatment, infection control, and
sanitisation, ensuring the safety and well-being of doctors, nurses, and other staff so that it could continue functioning normally for AMRI's patients. AMRI became the first private hospital in Eastern India to dedicate a building for COVID patients, and by March 2021, four of the seven towers in Kolkata were set aside for the purpose. In order to further manage the rush of patients, AMRI tied up with premium hotels to set up satellite centres and turned India's largest soccer stadium at Salt Lake into a field hospital. While AMRI had treated hundreds of COVID patients, a certain percentage of them were children. In order to address their wellbeing, it made necessary changes in infrastructure at its paediatric and neonatal ICUs, which have been customised in such a manner that they are ready to manage and treat children, even if the world is hit by a third wave. As value additions, AMRI also started a home collection of samples for both RT-PCR test of
COVID, and other non-COVID investigations, besides launching Virtual Home Care package for mild and moderately infected COVID-19 patients along with telemedicine platforms, so that healthcare can be taken to people's doorstep. Keeping up with the Know-how As a patient-first organization, during the pandemic, AMRI's focus has been on providing quality care and excellent clinical outcome. The most prominent initiative taken by AMRI hospitals during the pandemic was the #NoRefusal campaign, ensuring that no patient was refused, be it COVID positive or non-COVID. The '361o programme' is another major initiative, which AMRI had launched in early 2020, under which the group provides an all-round service platform to offer sophisticated treatment processes. While COVID disrupted the launch of several super-specialised disciplines it had planned, now it is gradually rolling
out paediatric clinics to address issues related to cardiology, nephrology, urology, and pulmonology. Since much of quality healthcare is dependent on technological platforms and advanced equipment, the team at AMRI would like to keep themselves updated, as they have always done, and they hope to acquire the best machinery and human resources in order to provide the best of services. Expert Advice While asked for advice from the young generation, Mr Rupak said, "child-care is one of the most dynamic and rewarding sectors to work in. Most people who work in childcare are passionate about it, and they thrive on the opportunities they get from working as part of a focussed and involved team. Working in child healthcare is one of the most satisfying career options available".

hat is the point in doing unnecessary research when millions of our children are dying of preventable diseases? We must first offer them the basic minimum,” these were the words of Dr K. C. Chaudhuri (1901-1973), a pillar of Indian Paediatrics. After attending and caring for
thousands of children with all the kindness, tenderness, and eagerness by establishing India’s first Paediatric Institute of Child Health, Dr Chaudhuri wanted to do more for the country’s children before his death. And he did it, till his last dying breath. His devotion and sincerity are still carried out by the institute today, after
thirty-eight years of his passing, in providing positive and complete child healthcare to all, and especially to the underprivileged children. In our pursuit of ‘India's Best Child Care Clinics,’ we met Dr Apurba Ghosh, Director of this first paediatric institute of India.We were humbled by his compassion, his dedication, and his

unselfish love to care for children of all ages. In an interview with Insights Success, he told us more about the story and future goals of this noble, philanthropic child healthcare providing hospital, of one of its kind. Below are the highlights of that interview. Please describe for our audience about ICH in detail. In the present day, the Institute of Child Health (ICH) is an autonomous, non-profit making institute, managed by a trust.And an MCI recognized 200-
bed paediatric teaching hospital, for the postgraduate students in paediatric medicine.It is affiliated with the West Bengal University of Health Sciences.
This would have not been possible without the help of doctors, who have rendered theirselfless services,absolutely free of cost.
ICH has three clear focus areas:
What made you venture into the Paediatric Care Space? Institute of Child Health, Kolkata, was the dream project of the late Dr K C Chaudhuri, the doyen of paediatrics in India when paediatrics was not considered a separate speciality. His effort got due recognition, when the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru inaugurated this Institute in 1956.
Care of under-privileged children in health and disease. Education of the people and the professionals in child health, research, and advancement of knowledge in child health. Our responsibilities are immense and indeed challenging when working for no profit on a social cause. Our charges are nominal, yet our institute is selfsustainable in its operation.

A Compassionate Paediatrician “What one receives from the society, one is morally obliged to return some of it back to the society” professed Professor Apurba Ghosh, Director of ICH, Kolkata. Some of these guiding principles have shaped the life and services of the professor, who has spent over four decades treating and curing children seamlessly of the deadliest of diseases with passion and compassion. Ever ready to help the poorest of the poor, the needy, the destitute, the abandoned kid, Dr Ghosh has made it his mission to provide the best possible care to an ailing child, irrespective of his/her background, at the lowest possible cost. This is an ethos he has inherited from his revered teachers and seniors at ICH and which he pursues with all seriousness and zeal. Fondly called “Dhanwantary” by the numerous parents and guardians who have a smile on their face today, Dr Ghosh has successfully treated many difficult and rare cases. He has special interest in dysmorphology and growth related disorders in children, endocrinological disorders, genetic conditions and rare diseases. Quite a number of rare diseases have been reported by him whose diagnosis would have been otherwise remain unrevealed, and in a way he has been a pioneer to diagnose and manage rare syndromes in the eastern part of India. The growth and dysmorphology was started by him years ago, at Institute of Child Health, Kolkata. Professor Ghosh loves academics to the core. An avid reader, and an early riser, Dr Ghosh had carved a disciplined and hard working life schedule, which is worth emulating for anyone who wishes to succeed. He has a special love for modern gadgets and is dynamic in the truest sense. Be it the practice of medicine, teaching or administration, he enthuses his dynamism and juggles effortlessly in the three arenas. A devoted teacher, who has proved that knowledge, is ageless and a doctor needs to update his knowledge time and again if he wishes to serve the society sincerely. He has been an eminent teacher for the past 40 years serving, now as professor and principal of the college. He has contributed immensely to the growth and expanse of the Institute, which he joined himself as a Junior Resident way back in 1979, after graduating with laurels from Guwahati Medical College, Assam. Over the last forty years, he moved ladder to ladder and assumed Directorship at a young age of 46. Under his command, the Institute made several achievements including addition of a nursing college in September 2020, to educate and train nurses, a pressing demand in the country today. A great visionary leader, who has driven the oldest pediatric hospital of India to become a tertiary care hospital of trust for millions and a center of learning for young doctors, nurses, and paramedical, is now on a war path to create a new modern hospital with advanced facilities for the coming generations of children and doctors alike.
Subsequently, several other stalwarts like Dr Sisir Kumar Bose, Dr S P Ghoshal, Dr U C Chakraborty (father of Paediatric Surgery in India) and many others, dedicated their careers to this hospital without any reciprocation –to serve the less privileged sections of the society at minimal cost and provide them with quality medical care. What kind of services do you provide to your patients? In sixty-five years, the institute has evolved into a prime paediatric
hospital with a referral from within and outside of the state. The hospital provides service to the lower-middleclass group with minimal cost or even free of cost. With the dynamic change in the socioeconomic status of our country, the awareness of disease management has increased the need for state-of-theart therapy, for the underprivileged population.To look for a better outcome for both morbidity and mortality.
The dedicated team of professionals in all specialities and super-specialities, who had been serving the institute, felt the need for this upgraded facility.And with efforts of all of them, we could motivate generous donors in all sectors from the corporate, individuals, NGOs etc., to support this cause. This has helped the hospital to expand over the years and has been equipped with various super-speciality services like surgery, neurology, nephrology, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology,

rheumatology, haemato-oncology, endocrinology, skin, neurodevelopment, and others. At present, about 80 paediatricians and specialists are attached to this hospital. What kind of challenges do you face while providing Paediatric Care? The tradition of providing voluntary services is still in vogue, which has been initiated sixty-five years back. But the targeted expansion has been crippled by the infrastructure, which is out of date.

There is a need to have a modern hospital, with a vision towards the future. A well laid down planned superstructure, with a multidisciplinary approach, in a patient-friendly manner, is the need of the hour. A dedicated nursing college is also needed to train and equip nurses, in this evolving field of medicine, with a special focus on childcare. Over the years, the 50 bedded hospital had to be expanded to 200 bedded.To fulfil the need for the growing patients’ admission and treatment and MCI requirements of a post-graduate teaching hospital.

The need for expansion of the various speciality departments – PICU, Haemato-oncology,Nephrology along with diagnostics facility, would require a new space.
We would request everyone to please help us in the expansion, not only by the equipment provision but also helping us to build the new construction.Without it, it would be difficult to carry this noble effort for another sixty years.

An exclusive Hospital Building (300 beds), with all modern indoor facilities and increased capacity, spreading over all sub-specialities, to serve more ailing children, costing about Rs.80.00 crores.
The new building would accommodate all the different departments in a muchoriented manner.It would facilitate and optimize the delivery of healthcare management.
With research and development in medical science, opportunities are now vast, accessibility is easier, and functionality has been simplified. The development of medical science has brought in new life-saving technologies and methodologies, enabling healthcare more methodical, systematic, and prompt. We intend to

Overall, in the eastern part of our country, the diagnostic facilitiesare quite less for the uncommon/rare diseases, which are no longer uncommon nor rare amongst the patients. With the installation of all these diagnostic equipment, ICH would be able to provide diagnostic facilitiesfor most of the diseases, malignancies, genetic, endocrine, autoimmune etc., at a relatively low cost.

Industry
he world has experienced the most significant global health crisis with the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. In such an unprecedented time, the industry saw an upsurge in technologies that helped for detection of the spread of diseases, disinfectants, ways to limit transformation as well as patient management, treatment, and immunization, among many the discovery of a variety of technologies like genetic analysis, clinical data storage had enabled the development of precision in medicines. The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have made hospitals more innovative and more efficient. Technology is dramatically changing every aspect of our lives. It is not only making a remarkable transformation in the service and manufacturing sector, but its use has amplified across the entire health care sector. Ÿ Cloud Computing Cloud computing allows medical professionals to establish a patient’s journey supported by tech-enabled telehealth and remote monitoring. It has improved storing massive data and has eliminated the need for on-premises data storage. Cloud does various tasks like integrating network, security, billings, monitoring, and alerts, together with access and identity management. It also provides smooth access to data storage and management, data backup and recovery, smart data potential, and data interoperability. 25 | February 2022 | www.insightssuccess.in
Ÿ Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Ÿ Telemedicine
Artificial Intelligence has put back the stress on the healthcare sector by reducing the time-consuming and labour-intensive processes into rapid and remotely accessible ones. AI has extended the use of digital products that benefit clinical workflow management, advanced surgery assistance, and medical diagnostic.
Several governments, healthcare systems, clinicians, and patients adopted telemedicine during the pandemic time. It has proved to minimize the load on the facilities and lessen the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
This technology has enabled several start-ups to participate in its research. One such US start-up has offered AIpowered autonomous monitoring. It helps monitor in0be patients to prevent them from falling and predict pressure ulcers, tremors, and other risks. Ÿ Big DATA Analytics Medical data collection, storage, diagnostic techniques, and treatment planning have transformed with the revolution of digitalization. As health and medical data volume is expected to increase exponentially, big data analytics is the solution to store health records securely. They offer a decentralised platform for secure, fast, and transparent exchange of medical data. Big Data and Analytics uses blockchain technology which is safe and protected with encryption. Ÿ Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) Internet of Medical Things is an instrument developed for products that need less or no human intervention while providing medical services. This instrument has recently offered a sub-trend, namely the Cognitive Internet of Medical Things. It helps integrate sensory information, automatic processing, and communication through networks for real-time diagnosis. The technology has offered multiple products for disinfecting the air in the rooms, door handles, objects, surfaces, handrails, etc. This is an easy-to-install technology in settings like hospitals, clinics, offices, and airports. This solution detects the number of people present in the room and automatically disinfects the air by using ultraviolet light radiation. The technology has been further upgraded for dose monitoring. This system guarantees the right time to deliver a valid and monitored thermosensitive dose with innovative disposal. Continuous tracking helps keep track of performance diagnostic, battery levels, ambient, temperatures, and even new doses.
This technology offers a snapshot of all ICU patients and beds while also predicting alerts for sepsis, mortality, early warning patients, automated doctor notes, and nurse notes. Ÿ 3D Printing 3D printing is gaining support and becoming popular in the healthcare industry for many reasons. It comes with multiple applications like printing lightweight prosthetics, bionics, and casts to repair fractures. The use of low prices, lightweight biomaterials, and smart materials secure improvements in careful deliveries and safe time for production while cutting costs. The technology is advancing the development of patient-specific models of organs and surgical tools using the patient's medical imaging. Additionally, it includes better surgical instruments that increase a surgeon’s support for better surgery outcomes while providing faster and less traumatic procedures. This technology has produced customized solutions to heal fractures and sprains. The development of a hygienic, waterproof, breathable, itch-proof, and reusable device helps adapt immobilization to each patient’s condition. The key benefits include onsite printing in clinical settings and eliminating the time and cost of recasting with traditional materials and techniques. 3D printing also provides a solution for surgery planning and execution of the entire surgery. It uses radiologicalassisted models to visualize a patient’s anatomy before starting the surgery. It helps doctors to predetermine the surgical cuts. A Future of Positive Growth Technology has offered the healthcare sector the most significant benefits and made it faster, easier, smooth, and accessible. The access to information required for both healthcare professionals and patients is readily available and no longer do any of them need to wait and rely on physical records. Such a change has lessened the burden on the sector and seen a positive growth in the administrative process, which was a dream before the pandemic years.

We Bring Your Child's Healthy Smile Back
D
ental hygiene is very much essential to keep your child's smile and overall health intact. Usually, children complain of toothaches, as their milk tooth easily gets affected, if not regularly taken care of. This leads them to pain, sometimes severe. And we can hardly see our child in pain, severe or mild. Thus, we must take them to a dentist. But convincing that child to visit a dentist is more problematic than taking them to a hospital.
Children get petrified at the very idea of a dentist and are always fearful of hospitals. We can hardly blame them, as we too are not so keen on visiting either place. We try to avoid them as much as possible. All your preconceived scary notions are going to get wiped out, once you hear about a dental clinic, where the doctors not only treat your child as if they are their own and makes them feel at home but also gives time to your child to get over the fear before the treatment and provides comfort, entertainment, gifts and even certificates once they have treated the child. It is surely going to put that healthy smile back on your child's face and yours too once you hear more about the Dentrelief Dental Clinic with a speciality in childcare. Let us know more about the clinic, from its Owner and Chief Dentist, Dr Rakay Ahmed's exclusive interview given to Insights Success. Please brief our audience about your clinic, your USPs, and how you are currently positioned as one of the best childcare clinics. Our clinic's name is Dentrelief Dental Clinic. It is located in the heart of the city. At Park Circus, Seven Point, Behind
Arsalan Restaurant, in this city of joy, Kolkata, West Bengal. We established our clinic in 2016. Many people usually compare me with the legendary Dr R. Ahmed. Though flattering, Dr R. Ahmed was one-of-a-kind of a person. We, at our clinic, strive for his vision to provide the best dental treatment with painless experience along with aesthetic touch. Our USP is, we try to keep ourselves upgraded with our field, providing painless treatments, using the cartridge system of anaesthesia since day one. Our clinic is equipped with all kinds of upgraded gadgets, to provide quality dental care. We are one of the best childcare clinics, as we provide painless treatment and give a comfortable and homely experience to children, making them feel at home. Providing entertainment along with treatments, and gifts, and certificates to children, for behaving well during the treatment, is our policy. Tell us more about your clinic's offerings and what aspects make it stand out in the cutthroat competition. Our clinic, Dentrelief Dental Clinic – Park Circus, offers a wide variety of treatments, which includes dental care from paediatric (child) patients to geriatric (old age) patients. We have magnifications that help us provide better treatments because the better you see, the better you do. We maintain strict sterilization and sanitization following all the necessary SOPs.

Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how the adoption of modern technologies like AI and ML is impacting the healthcare sector and how are you adapting to the change?
How do you envision scaling your clinic's operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond?

Modern technologies are always good to learn about and adapt in your setup. It is better to adapt the change as fast as you can, because just like Darwin's Theory "survival of the fittest", is what remains in the market. So, learn and adapt to upgrade and provide excellent treatment to your patients. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one the best things to use in today's practice, where you reduce the number of sittings and provide instant treatment for everything with single visit dentistry. Considering the current pandemic, what initial challenges did you face and how did you drive the clinic to sustain operations while ensuring the safety of your employees at the same time? Considering the current pandemic, during the early days, we had to keep the clinic closed to ensure everyone's safety, but as soon as the government allowed healthcare professionals, we got back to our battlefield. I always kept in my mind, to strictly follow all the SOPs like proper sterilization, sanitization, temperature check every day, PPE and regular RT-PCR test for all staff and doctors. Also, fumigation and air purifier are installed in our clinic and all other necessary steps have been fulfilled already.
My advice to the young dentist will be, to have patience with children and do not rush into the treatment. First, try to get friendly with them and enter their comfort zone. Then, they will allow you to work. Afterwards comes your role, to provide quality care and treatment with your skilful hands.
We are planning to expand our clinic with multiple branches in 2022, and even upgrade ourselves more and more, to keep all our patients happy and provide a pain-free beautiful smile to them. What are your suggestions for parents in taking care of their children's health in a post pandemic world? Parents play a vital role in taking children's care, whether it is dental care or general wellbeing. First and foremost, do what you want your child to do. Be an idol for them. Second, a few things which can be done to keep a child's dental care proper is always visiting a dentist every six months. Take proper care of milk teeth from the beginning, brush with your child so that they also brush. Wipe the gum pads of neonates after feeding. The most important tip for everyone – "always rinse after having anything", Brush twice, daily, morning time to keep you friends, nighttime to keep your teeth.

Ÿ Prevent Diseases

One of the most important things that good health provides is improved immunity against an n-number of diseases, and dangerous viruses and bacteria. For a healthy lifestyle, it is very important that one chooses an active lifestyle because an inactive lifestyle follows exposure to chronic diseases like cancer, hypertension, and many among them which might be very harmful to you.

Immunity is the leading principle that a man acquires when he stays fit. A good healthy lifestyle not only saves people from simple flu and stomach disorders but also from deadly diseases. To achieve immunity and a healthy lifestyle, exercise is a must.

A Transforming and Healing Presence

hild Healthcare has significantly changed in recent years with the advancements in medical technology and knowledge, resulting in a better understanding of emotional response in children.
Medical science, on the other hand, is advancing at every moment. It is enhancing the progress by new developments towards the aim to improve the survival and well-being of all children. As a result, the growth of sub-specialities for the superspecialized care of children is becoming an emerging trend in the field of paediatric surgery. Paediatric Surgery has become a wellrecognized interest speciality of general surgery although its boundaries remain poorly defined. As an area of special interest in surgery, it has developed primarily for two reasons. The first of these is the unique nature of congenital anomalies which occur in newborn infants. The second reason has been a gradual understanding that the physiological responses of a baby
are qualitatively as well as quantitively different from an adult and dramatic changes can occur with greater rapidity during the operative and postoperative care of an infant. Surgeries in the paediatric population are always done with some serious factors taken into thoughtful consideration. One such factor is the likelihood of spontaneous improvement, which can avoid the need for surgery, as there are high risks involved in the operation. In addition to this, the psychological implications of the procedure and diseases are always considered. Likewise, the surgeon always uses the optimal care and surgical techniques to keep undesirable consequences to a minimum. Familiarity with these responses and an extended experience with their management is essential for proper surgical care of infants and young children. One such clinic that is contributing to treating patients with their expertise in Paediatric Surgery is Phadke

methods of consultation. We have also adapted to this by utilising healthrelated apps which makes it easier to keep patient records and communicate through SMS and WhatsApp groups.

This paediatric surgery clinic was started in the early 1980s by my mentor and one of the most famous paediatric surgeons and teachers Dr Dilip M Phadke. The legacy set by him has been carried forward in imparting the best possible treatment in paediatric surgery. Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how the adoption of modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are impacting the healthcare sector and how are you adapting to the change? Modern technologies like AI and ML have definitely brought a change in the
Considering the current pandemic, what initial challenges did you face and how did you drive the clinic to sustain operations while ensuring the safety of your employees at the same time? Because of the current pandemic many patients were apprehensive about getting the elective surgeries done. So, there was a decrease in the number of surmises in this pandemic period. We even had difficulties in convincing some staff to work in this challenging situation. After initial reluctance, they got adapted to the situation after proper counselling and vaccination.
What would be your advice to the young generation who aspire to become childcare specialists? Paediatric surgery is an incredibly challenging branch that requires passion, patience, and the ability to oversee the emotions of the patient and their parents. So, my advice to the young generation is that we have to be competent, have effective communication skills, and suitable time management. We should be sympathetic towards the parents of children who have congenital anomalies. How do you envision scaling your clinic’s operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? We have planned to further increase the quality of the treatment offered by us making use of modern equipment to decrease the morbidity and mortality in paediatric surgery, in the future.
