The medical wards at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital provide care for neonates to children under 14 years of age. We look after all the medical problems of children starting from simple viral fever to complicated chronic patients and when needed obtain opinions from sub \u2013 speciality\u202fconsultants\u202favailable at LRH.<\/p>\n

In the wards we provide acute care for the sick children, diagnose new diseases in newly presenting patients, identify other problems related to medical as well as social and psychological aspects and provide our best care to overcome them, supporting the entire family of the child. Meanwhile we also provide long term follow-up for patients who have chronic illnesses.<\/p>\n

This department consists of the following wards:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
