    Equipped with six meticulously designed Operating Rooms and two dedicated Procedure Rooms, our facility ensures that pediatric patients receive the highest standard of care in a caring, child-friendly environment.

    With around-the-clock care, we handle a daily caseload ranging from 12 to 24 cases, catering to a diverse array of specialties including Otolaryngology (ENT), Genitourinary (GU), Orthopedics, General, Neuro, Cardiac, and Trauma procedures.
