KING EDWARD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
SETH GORDHANDAS SUNDERDAS MEDICAL COLLEGE
बृहन्मुंबई महानगरपालिका रुग्णालय
Introduction: The Department of Pediatrics was established in KEM Hospital in the year 1958. Since then, the department has advanced in high quality patient care and management- catering to over 70,000 outdoor patients and more than 5000 indoor patients from all over India every year.
This Department has established high standards in Pediatric medicine with its intensive academic curriculum and state of the art medical facilities with Pediatric Wards, Emergency Pediatric Services (EPR), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Learning Disability (LD) Clinic, Genetic Clinic & Pediatric Research Laboratory, Thalassemia Day Care Center, General Pediatric OPD & Specialty Pediatric OPD services, etc. Over the years, the Department has retained its position as one of the best Pediatric centers in India.
For almost the first three decades of our institution, Pediatrics did not exist as a separate entity. The physicians looking after the health needs of adult patients considered children as miniature adults and treated them. It soon dawned that children and infants have special needs that require specialized attention. Following the worldwide trend, a separate department of Pediatrics was established in 1958 with two Pediatric Units and a total strength of 48 in-patient beds. The units were headed by two honorary Pediatricians – Dr. P.E. Bharucha & Dr. M.P.Bhagat. They were assisted by an assistant honorary each. Both these stalwarts served the hospital for over 15 years and were responsible for its growth and for the training of a generation of able Pediatricians. In 1967, a third unit was added and the bed strength of the department was increased to 72 beds and later to 90 beds in 1976. Currently the Pediatric wards have total of 120 beds. For a large part of its existence, many more patients were cared for on the floor beds, so that no patient requiring admission was denied the benefit of in-patient care. In the sixties and early seventies, before setting up of the pediatric wards in the peripheral municipal hospitals, the load of patients was tremendous with almost 15000 to 20000 patients seen in the outpatient departments per year and more than 5000 patients were admitted per year. Over the years as the facilities in peripheral Hospitals got established and improved, the patient load at KEM Hospital has shown a decreasing trend. Reduction in patient load coupled with availability of ancillary laboratory and other investigative facilities has resulted in better care of patients and now we are able to accurately diagnose many illnesses and treat many conditions effectively. The aims of department as that of the hospital itself have always been patient care, undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research. Till the establishment of this department at KEM Hospital, the undergraduate students had their training from B.J. Wadia Hospital for Children. Now, Their rotation in Pediatrics is divided in these two hospitals. The postgraduate students and interns also work at KEM Hospital and B.J. Wadia Hospital during their training. The department has been training students for MD Pediatrics Course since 1960 and DCH Course (from 1993 to 2018) (previously both under University of Mumbai, and now affiliated to MUHS- Maharashtra University of Health Sciences). Over the years, the department of Pediatrics has evolved and developed in specialty care services. The first amongst its leaps was the Special care area in the pediatric ward for sick children by Dr. P.E. Bharucha in 1958 with two incubators, isolation facilities and separate nursing staff. Initially, the obstetricians took care of all newborns delivered at KEM Hospital in the obstetric wards. In 1968, Pediatricians took over the responsibility. In 1970, a separate Neonatal Care Unit was set up adjacent to the postpartum ward with 10 beds with incubators, phototherapy units, separate pantry and separate staff. The facility was expanded with by the efforts of Dr. N. B. Kumta and Dr. S. F. Irani to provide level II and Level III care in 1991-92, as it was felt that a neonate is not a miniature child but one whose care required knowledge and expertise. The Neonatal unit was given the status of a separate Department in 1994 and it trains postgraduate students for DM Neonatology Course. The Departments of Pediatrics is working at developing other specialties too. A Rheumatology Clinic has been running since 1969 and a Nephrology clinic since 1971, both started by Dr. M. P. Bhagat, Dr. Maharukh K. Joshi and Dr. P. W. Kandoth. The Pediatric Chest Clinic was established by Dr. M.D. Shah in 1979. The Pediatric epilepsy clinic has been a recent addition (2009) to the specialty services provided. The Genetic Clinic and the Pediatric research laboratory was started in 1979 by Dr. N.B. Kumta. From a fledging start, it later became one of the first fifteen laboratories in India. Here, the patients are investigated for the diagnosis of genetic and metabolic disorders and the clinic gets referrals from all over India. Dr. N.B. Kumta’s successor late Dr. B.A. Bharucha expanded the facilities by collaborating with similar laboratories from abroad. The Prestige of this clinic has increased over the past years and this facility is considered to be one of the best in the city and the state. This clinic is currently looked after by Dr. Mamta N. Muranjan. Infants born in KEM Hospital are followed up in separate Well Baby Clinic since 1970. The clinic undertakes activities of Under-five care including growth monitoring and healthy promotive activities like advice regarding nutrition, immunization and accident prevention. A Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) was started in 1992 with 8 beds, which was later renovated and expanded to a 9 bed set-up (2002) and later to 20 beds (currently). It is equipped with modern day equipment like the invasive and non-invasive multichannel monitors, ventilators, high frequency ventilator, pulse-oximeters, syringe pumps, ECG machine, defibrillator, capnographs, etc. and is managed by separate medical and nursing staff. About 500 to 600 patients are admitted every year in the Pediatric ICU. Currently the PICU is looked after by Dr. Milind Tullu. The emergency pediatric service (i.e. the EPR- Emergency Pediatric Registrar/ Room) was started in the year 2000. The EPR is a well-equipped 5 bedded extremely busy area with daily 8 to 10 indoor admissions and about 80 to 100 patients being treated on an outpatient basis. The EPR is looked after by Dr. Rajwanti Vaswani. The Pediatric Epilepsy OPD was started in year 2009 and is being looked after by Dr. Rajwanti Vaswani since then. The Learning Disability Clinic was started in the year 2010 by Dr. Sunil Karande. It is a state recognized centre for certification of students with academic underachievement. The Pediatric units in the Department have been headed by stalwarts including Dr. P.E. Bharucha, Dr. M.P. Bhagat, Dr. N.B. Kumta, Dr. M.D. Shah, Dr. M.K. Jain, Dr. P.W. Kandoth, Dr. S.F. Irani, Dr. R.H. Udani, Dr. J.R. Kamat, Dr. B.A. Bharucha, Dr. Keya Lahiri, Dr. Sandeep Bavdekar, Dr. Mukesh Agrawal and Dr. C.T. Deshmukh. The present day head of the 3 Pediatric units are - Dr. Sunil Karande, Dr. Rajwanti K. Vaswani and Dr. Mamta N. Muranjan.

Pediatric In-patient Services:
Being a tertiary care center, this public hospital offers services to people from all over Mumbai, Maharashtra state and also from other states. Most of the services are provided either free of cost or at nominal costs, catering mainly to the poor and needy patients who cannot afford costly medical expenses. Patients who cannot even afford nominal charges, are treated through donations and through the poor box charity fund with help of Medical Social Workers & the Administration. Outpatient and inpatient services are run on a daily basis, with 24-hour walk-in and dedicated Emergency Pediatric Services (EPR) of 5 beds. The EPR is a well-equipped extremely busy area with daily 8 to 10 indoor admissions and about 80 to 100 patients being treated on an outpatient basis. Pediatric ICU was established in 1993, with 20 beds at present. The PICU is well equipped and managed by senior faculty members and a team of residents present in the PICU round-the clock. The two Pediatric Medicine wards (Ward 1 & Ward 2) have a total of 100 beds.

Instructions for Patients/ Parents/ Guardians for Learning Disability (LD) Certification
[old website link https://www.kem.edu/learning-disability-ld-certification/]
The following will help you to understand the procedure for obtaining LD Certification. Please read the instructions completely.
1) How to get an appointment for a student’s assessment in LD Clinic?
The parent / legal guardian should take appointment directly from Ms. Jahida Kasim / Mrs Disha Naik, Secretary, LD Clinic, KEM Hospital.
The LD Clinic is open from 11 am to 3 pm (Mon to Fri); excluding public holidays. It is situated at Department of Pediatrics [2nd Floor, Pediatric Research Laboratory (PRL), Near Ward I, Old Hospital Building]. The direct line for any enquiry is: 022-24102624 and 9892204309.
Ms. Jahida Kasim / Mrs Disha Naik will explain the procedure to be followed in depth and will answer any query that the parent / legal guardian may have about the assessment procedure.
The child need not be brought for taking the appointment.
2) What are the assessments done in the LD clinic?
The child has to be brought at least three times to the LD Clinic for various assessments as per appointments given.These cannot be combined into a single session as this gets very taxing for the child. The dates of appointments for these testing are given by the Secretary in the LD Clinic and the entire procedure to be followed will be clearly explained by her to each parent.
The first appointment is given for child’s detailed clinical and neurological examination. (which takes about 30 minutes to be completed).
The second appointment is for testing the child’s intellectual capacity (IQ testing). (which takes about 60-90 minutes to be completed).
The third appointment is for the educational testing of the child. (which takes about 60-90 minutes to be completed).
In general the accompanying parent would have to take a half-day off from work / other family responsibilities for each of the three appointments
None of these examinations are painful or inconvenient to the child. The child need not be starving for any of these ‘tests’.
3) What other tests are required to be done before certification?
Vision testing to be done by an Ophthalmologist (Eye Specialist).
Hearing testing (Audiometry) to be done from an ENT Specialist.
These two tests can be done at KEM Hospital or at any public hospital near the child’s residence. They can also be done from a private Ophthalmologist or ENT Specialist – if so desired by parent. Both the vision and hearing testing reports should be recent (done in the past 3 months) to be considered valid.
Any questions you may have about these will be answered at the LD Clinic.
4) How long does it take for the entire assessment procedure to be completed?
Generally it takes about three weeks; beginning from the time of the first assessment done in the LD clinic (namely, the child’s detailed clinical and neurological examination). The certificate will be issued to the parent(s) after a meeting with the Counselor in the LD Clinic who will explain the child’s diagnosis and how to help the child achieve his/her maximum potential.
Contact Information: In case you wish to contact Dr Sunil Karande send an email to sunilkarande@kem.edu . We especially welcome feedback on your experience at the LD clinic. This will help us make the clinic more student and parent friendly.
