Hyderabad, April 15 2025: Ankura Hospital, a leader in women’s and children’s healthcare, has rolled out a comprehensive Paediatric Surgery Awareness Drive across all its centres. The initiative is aimed at educating parents about the importance of early detection and timely surgical intervention in children, helping them make informed healthcare decisions with confidence.
Many common childhood conditions — such as adenoids, appendicitis, hernias, undescended testes, and congenital anomalies — can be effectively managed with timely diagnosis and expert care. The campaign includes consultations, parent education sessions, digital outreach initiatives, and community programs to raise awareness and build parental confidence around paediatric surgical care.
Some conditions, such as hypospadias and testicular torsion, require urgent attention to prevent long-term complications. “Parents often delay essential surgeries out of fear or uncertainty. Through this campaign, we aim to replace fear with clarity and empower families with the right information,” said Dr. V.V.S. Chandrasekharam, Chief Pediatric Surgeon, Ankura Hospital.
Unlike adult surgeries, paediatric procedures require specialized expertise, child-centric care environments, and a deep understanding of developmental physiology. Ankura Hospital’s Paediatric Surgery Department is renowned for its advanced surgical infrastructure, minimally invasive techniques, and holistic, child-friendly approach. Every aspect — from pre-surgical counseling to post-operative care — is designed to ensure the child’s comfort, safety, and faster healing.
Ankura Hospital possesses Level 3 Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) across all centers to support its surgical excellence. These critical care units are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and managed by seasoned paediatric intensivists and trained nursing teams — providing round-the-clock support for children requiring intensive monitoring and care.
With this campaign, Ankura Hospital reinforces its mission to create a healthier tomorrow — one where timely awareness, access to expert care, and parental empowerment go hand in hand to secure the well-being of every child.
