Introduction

"Children are not just small adults but have medical and surgical problems and needs that are often quite different from those encountered by adult physicians. Infants and children deserve the very best medical care available. Every infant and child who suffers from an illness or disease has the right to be treated in an environment devoted to their care by a paediatric medical and surgical specialist.

Paediatric Surgeons are specially trained physicians with extensive experience and expertise in treating infants and children of all ages (from birth through adolescence) with surgical disorders. Because of their unique training, paediatric surgical specialties provide a wide range of treatment options and the highest quality care to children".

The department of Paediatric Surgery at these institutions was started in 1967 and has developed rapidly in a short span of time. It is staffed with two full time professors, one associate professor and one full time lecturer - ably supported by Registrars (registered for M. Ch. University Course for paediatric surgery).
