Editor’s Note
ue to advances in medical science and technology,
Dthere are dramatic positive changes in the scope
and reach of child health care in the country.
Further enhancement in healthcare knowledge and more
research in the area of child psychology, including the
emotional responses of children, is paving the way for
better diagnostics and prevention of many severe diseases
and disorders.
A healthy baby or child means when an individual meets in
with the basic minimum nutritional, physical, physiological,
psychological, intellectual, and social aspects of their own
well-being appropriate to their age and gender. When a
child or a baby experiences disturbance of any of its activity
or prevention in an appropriate level of functioning, that
child is supposed to be not feeling well.
Here in comes childcare clinics into the situation and are
PERSONAL,
BROAD-BASED,
AND HOLISTIC
CHILDCARE

supposed to provide modern child healthcare which
concentrates, focuses, and emphasizes upon continuous and
wholistic childcare. As per the United Nations Children’s
Fund (UNICEF), children’s primary needs are not restricted
to only nutritional but must include and ensure a broad-
based, long-term, and holistic personal and social
development.
Apart from governmental childcare centres, local, private
childcare units can play and are playing an essential role in
this regard. These childcare clinics are not only treating or
attending to children who are coming into their local,
regional centres but also providing basic healthcare options
delivered at home too, as seen especially during the
pandemic times.
These clinics are upgrading themselves according to the
changing times. They embrace all the significant
technological and medical advancements like digitalization,
automation, artificial intelligence, data analysis, cloud
computing, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), machine
learning, EMR/EHR, robotic process automation,
telemedicine, etc. Using these ultramodern technologies,
they create a unified childcare ecosystem, which is well-
equipped to tackle the personal, holistic care that UNICEF
is propagating.
To gauge their exact preparedness in terms of futuristic
childcare, Insights Success has come up with this brand
new edition titled ‘India’s Best Child Care Clinics’, which
depicts their extraordinary tales along with two trendy
articles written by our in-house editorial team.
Flip on through the following pages to better understand the
contemporary childcare scenario!

We are already working
towards a paperless
environment, and the
infrastructure will gain
largely by helping to bring
down human errors.

Mr Rupak Barua
Director and Group CEO

C
hild healthcare is the most
important sector of all. It takes
precise knowledge and
excellence to be in the healthcare
arena. As everyone saw the advent of
COVID-19, people were more worried
about kids. As there were no
vaccinations available for children,
people got concerned about the
ongoing situation. In these difficult
times, AMRI Hospitals played a vital
role in helping children who were
facing any kind of health issues.
During COVID when people did not
find proper healthcare services, AMRI
stood tall and served each and every
patient they got. This outstanding
handling of problems was possible
because of Mr Rupak Barua,
Director and Group CEO of AMRI.
He took charge of AMRI in 2014 after
the group faced a major setback in
2011, but his focussed and target-
oriented leadership skills ensured that
he succeeded in redefining AMRI as
the fastest growing healthcare network
in Eastern India, regaining the
confidence of patients, doctors, and
other stakeholders. With Mr Barua at
the helm, the group has set itself on a
fast-track path of growth and has taken
up major expansion plans across the
East and Northeast.
Visionary Outlook
AMRI Hospital's paediatric clinical
services are part of the larger hospital
group, where particular focus is given
on the health and wellbeing of both the
child and mother by providing
comprehensive services, including a
number of specialised clinics. The
paediatric clinics are placed in a
separate area, away from general
clinics, that boasts of a child-friendly
vibe and a play area.
AMRI's USP is its family-friendly,
child-centric approach to bringing the
best quality care to children, starting
from the time they are born. They also
offer comprehensive critical care
services, from the moment of birth
AMRI will also be
putting stress on
creating awareness
about the need for
vaccination among
children, for both
COVID and other
ailments.
India's Best Child Care Clinics

through its Neonatal ICU and to older
children at the Paediatric ICU, where a
multi-disciplinary approach is taken
with the help of specialists from
various disciplines.
Delivering the Best
Going beyond competition, AMRI's
motto is to provide the best services,
backed by excellent clinical outcome
and advanced technologies, under the
stewardship of an outstanding roster of
specialist doctors, with support from
well-trained nurses and technicians.
The paediatric clinics at AMRI are run
by an all-rounder team, covering all
major paediatric sub-specialities, with
an experienced consultant at the lead of
an individual clinic.
Apart from general paediatric clinics,
AMRI also runs theme-based clinics,
like Well Baby Clinic, Enuresis Clinic,
Nephro-Urology Clinic, and Asthma
Clinic, among others. The
comprehensive medical team is fully
supported by paramedical departments,
including paediatric physiotherapy,
occupational therapy, speech and
language therapy, audiology, paediatric
ophthalmology service, and paediatric
dentistry. The hospital also has holistic
support from round-the-clock in-house
investigation services, such as
paediatric echocardiography, EEG,
MRI, CT scan, Ultrasound, etc.
A Journey to Look up to
A healthcare professional for more
than three decades, Mr Rupak Barua
completed a diploma in marketing after
graduation, followed by management
development programmes at the
Singapore Management University,
IIM-Ahmedabad, and IIM-Bangaluru.
He has held several senior
administrative positions at major
corporate hospitals in Kolkata and is

currently President of the Association
of hospitals of Eastern India (AHEI).
He is also the Chairman of CII's
Healthcare Sub-Committee (Eastern
Region) and a National Expert in the
Indian Chamber of Commerce's
Healthcare Committee. He has played
an important role in transforming the
healthcare delivery system of Eastern
India.
Making the Most of Technology
As the old adage goes, change is
inevitable, and it is noticeable in every
aspect of people's lives. It's easy to
predict that the future will be rewritten
by digitization and AI as the use of
advanced technologies is increasing.
Digitalization of healthcare has greatly
helped in streamlining treatment
protocols and investigations, adding to
the positive and patient experience for
the last few years. This can only be
scaled up, as earlier treatment
platforms are upgraded, and more
advanced ones are introduced. Much of
AMRI's products and services for
patients are already on digital
platforms, and its teams are actively
encouraged to decrease carbon
footprint besides looking at more
sustainable solutions.
Ensuring Safety and Good Health
Even though the pandemic led to a lot
of disorder, given the initial lack of
knowledge about the virus, AMRI
managed to find its foothold soon. It
started by making significant changes
to the infrastructure and modified its
SOPs to meet the needs of the hour.
AMRI set up isolation wards,
formulated fresh protocols for
treatment, infection control, and
Our focus is on
quality healthcare
at an affordable
cost, which will be
further aided by
the use of
advanced digital
tools.

COVID, and other non-COVID
investigations, besides launching
Virtual Home Care package for mild
and moderately infected COVID-19
patients along with telemedicine
platforms, so that healthcare can be
taken to people's doorstep.
Keeping up with the Know-how
As a patient-first organization, during
the pandemic, AMRI's focus has been
on providing quality care and excellent
clinical outcome. The most prominent
initiative taken by AMRI hospitals
during the pandemic was the
#NoRefusal campaign, ensuring that
no patient was refused, be it COVID
o
positive or non-COVID. The '361
programme' is another major initiative,
which AMRI had launched in early
2020, under which the group provides
an all-round service platform to offer
sophisticated treatment processes.
While COVID disrupted the launch of
several super-specialised disciplines it
had planned, now it is gradually rolling
sanitisation, ensuring the safety and
well-being of doctors, nurses, and
other staff so that it could continue
functioning normally for AMRI's
patients. AMRI became the first private
hospital in Eastern India to dedicate a
building for COVID patients, and by
March 2021, four of the seven towers
in Kolkata were set aside for the
purpose. In order to further manage the
rush of patients, AMRI tied up with
premium hotels to set up satellite
centres and turned India's largest
soccer stadium at Salt Lake into a field
hospital.
While AMRI had treated hundreds of
COVID patients, a certain percentage
of them were children. In order to
address their wellbeing, it made
necessary changes in infrastructure at
its paediatric and neonatal ICUs, which
have been customised in such a manner
that they are ready to manage and treat
children, even if the world is hit by a
third wave. As value additions, AMRI
also started a home collection of
samples for both RT-PCR test of
out paediatric clinics to address issues
related to cardiology, nephrology,
urology, and pulmonology.
Since much of quality healthcare is
dependent on technological platforms
and advanced equipment, the team at
AMRI would like to keep themselves
updated, as they have always done, and
they hope to acquire the best
machinery and human resources in
order to provide the best of services.
Expert Advice
While asked for advice from the young
generation, Mr Rupak said, "child-care
is one of the most dynamic and
rewarding sectors to work in. Most
people who work in childcare are
passionate about it, and they thrive on
the opportunities they get from
working as part of a focussed and
involved team. Working in child
healthcare is one of the most satisfying
career options available".

Institute
ofChild Health
A Positive and Complete Child Care Provider
What is the point in doing
unnecessary research when
millions of our children are
dying of preventable diseases? We must
first offer them the basic minimum,”
these were the words of Dr K. C.
Chaudhuri (1901-1973), a pillar of
Indian Paediatrics.
After attending and caring for
thousands of children with all the
kindness, tenderness, and eagerness by
establishing India’s first Paediatric
Institute of Child Health, Dr
Chaudhuri wanted to do more for the
country’s children before his death.
And he did it, till his last dying breath.
His devotion and sincerity are still
carried out by the institute today, after
thirty-eight years of his passing, in
providing positive and complete child
healthcare to all, and especially to the
underprivileged children.
In our pursuit of ‘India's Best Child
Care Clinics,’ we met Dr Apurba
Ghosh, Director of this first paediatric
institute of India.We were humbled by
his compassion, his dedication, and his
16 | February 2022 | www.insightssuccess.in

unselfish love to care for children of all
ages.
In an interview with Insights Success,
he told us more about the story and
future goals of this noble, philanthropic
child healthcare providing hospital, of
one of its kind.
Below are the highlights of that
interview.
Please describe for our audience
about ICH in detail.
In the present day, the Institute of
Child Health (ICH) is an autonomous,
non-profit making institute, managed
by a trust.And an MCI recognized 200-
bed paediatric teaching hospital, for the
postgraduate students in paediatric
medicine.It is affiliated with the West
Bengal University of Health Sciences.
ICH has three clear focus areas:
Care of under-privileged children in
health and disease. Education of the
people and the professionals in child
health, research, and advancement of
knowledge in child health.
Our responsibilities are immense and
indeed challenging when working for
no profit on a social cause. Our charges
are nominal, yet our institute is self-
sustainable in its operation.
This would have not been possible
without the help of doctors, who have
rendered theirselfless
services,absolutely free of cost.
What made you venture into the
Paediatric Care Space?
Institute of Child Health, Kolkata, was
the dream project of the late Dr K C
Chaudhuri, the doyen of paediatrics in
India when paediatrics was not
considered a separate speciality. His
effort got due recognition, when the
first Prime Minister of India, Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru inaugurated this
Institute in 1956.

Subsequently, several other stalwarts
like Dr Sisir Kumar Bose, Dr S P
Ghoshal, Dr U C Chakraborty (father
of Paediatric Surgery in India) and
many others, dedicated their careers to
this hospital without any reciprocation
–to serve the less privileged sections of
the society at minimal cost and provide
them with quality medical care.
What kind of services do you
provide to your patients?
In sixty-five years, the institute has
evolved into a prime paediatric
hospital with a referral from within and
outside of the state. The hospital
provides service to the lower-middle-
class group with minimal cost or even
free of cost.
With the dynamic change in the
socioeconomic status of our country,
the awareness of disease management
has increased the need for state-of-the-
art therapy, for the underprivileged
population.To look for a better
outcome for both morbidity and
mortality.
The dedicated team of professionals in
all specialities and super-specialities,
who had been serving the institute, felt
the need for this upgraded facility.And
with efforts of all of them, we could
motivate generous donors in all sectors
from the corporate, individuals, NGOs
etc., to support this cause.
This has helped the hospital to expand
over the years and has been equipped
with various super-speciality services
like surgery, neurology, nephrology,
respiratory medicine, gastroenterology,
“What one receives from the society, one is morally obliged to return some of it back to the society” professed
Professor Apurba Ghosh, Director of ICH, Kolkata. Some of these guiding principles have shaped the life and
services of the professor, who has spent over four decades treating and curing children seamlessly of the deadliest
of diseases with passion and compassion. Ever ready to help the poorest of the poor, the needy, the destitute, the
abandoned kid, Dr Ghosh has made it his mission to provide the best possible care to an ailing child, irrespective of
his/her background, at the lowest possible cost. This is an ethos he has inherited from his revered teachers and
seniors at ICH and which he pursues with all seriousness and zeal.
Fondly called “Dhanwantary” by the numerous parents and guardians who have a smile on their face today, Dr
Ghosh has successfully treated many difficult and rare cases. He has special interest in dysmorphology and growth
related disorders in children, endocrinological disorders, genetic conditions and rare diseases.
Quite a number of rare diseases have been reported by him whose diagnosis would have been otherwise remain
unrevealed, and in a way he has been a pioneer to diagnose and manage rare syndromes in the eastern part of
India. The growth and dysmorphology was started by him years ago, at Institute of Child Health, Kolkata.
Professor Ghosh loves academics to the core. An avid reader, and an early riser, Dr Ghosh had carved a disciplined
and hard working life schedule, which is worth emulating for anyone who wishes to succeed. He has a special love
for modern gadgets and is dynamic in the truest sense. Be it the practice of medicine, teaching or administration,
he enthuses his dynamism and juggles effortlessly in the three arenas.
A devoted teacher, who has proved that knowledge, is ageless and a doctor needs to update his knowledge time
and again if he wishes to serve the society sincerely. He has been an eminent teacher for the past 40 years serving,
now as professor and principal of the college. He has contributed immensely to the growth and expanse of the
Institute, which he joined himself as a Junior Resident way back in 1979, after graduating with laurels from Guwahati
Medical College, Assam. Over the last forty years, he moved ladder to ladder and assumed Directorship at a young
age of 46.
Under his command, the Institute made several achievements including addition of a nursing college in September
2020, to educate and train nurses, a pressing demand in the country today. A great visionary leader, who has driven
the oldest pediatric hospital of India to become a tertiary care hospital of trust for millions and a center of learning
for young doctors, nurses, and paramedical, is now on a war path to create a new modern hospital with advanced
facilities for the coming generations of children and doctors alike.
A Compassionate Paediatrician

rheumatology, haemato-oncology,
endocrinology, skin,
neurodevelopment, and others. At
present, about 80 paediatricians and
specialists are attached to this hospital.
What kind of challenges do you face
while providing Paediatric Care?
The tradition of providing voluntary
services is still in vogue, which has
been initiated sixty-ﬁve years back.
But the targeted expansion has been
crippled by the infrastructure, which is
out of date.
In 60 years, the Institute has
evolved into a prime paediatric
hospital withreferrals from
within and outside of the state

Dr Apurba Ghosh
Director, ICH

have supported the cause
wholeheartedly and treated all the poor
patients with the fullest care.
The donors over the years have also
offered repeat donations after seeing
our track record.
We would request everyone to please
help us in the expansion, not only by
the equipment provision but also
helping us to build the new
construction.Without it, it would be
difficult to carry this noble effort for
another sixty years.
Where do you envision ICH to be in
the long run and what are your
future goals? How do you plan to
embrace the changes happening in
There is a need to have a modern
hospital, with a vision towards the
future. A well laid down planned
superstructure, with a multidisciplinary
approach, in a patient-friendly manner,
is the need of the hour. A dedicated
nursing college is also needed to train
and equip nurses, in this evolving field
of medicine, with a special focus on
childcare.
Over the years, the 50 bedded hospital
had to be expanded to 200 bedded.To
fulfil the need for the growing patients’
admission and treatment and MCI
requirements of a post-graduate
teaching hospital.
The main building was constructed six
years before and now with the
encroachment of newer buildings
around it, have helped us to
accommodate the various facilities.But
the scattered location of the related
department, at times, does create a lack
in the smoothdelivery of the
management.
The need for expansion of the various
speciality departments – PICU,
Haemato-oncology,Nephrology along
with diagnostics facility, would require
a new space.
What would you like to advise the
young generation of
PaediatricCaregivers?
The institute over six decades has
followed the pathway of dedication
amongst all medical professionals, who

Paediatric Care?
The Institute of Child Health has the
following plan for the future:
An exclusive Hospital Building (300
beds), with all modern indoor facilities
and increased capacity, spreading over
all sub-specialities, to serve more
ailing children, costing about Rs.80.00
crores.
With research and development in
medical science, opportunities are now
vast, accessibility is easier, and
functionality has been simplified. The
development of medical science has
brought in new life-saving
technologies and methodologies,
enabling healthcare more methodical,
systematic, and prompt. We intend to
open this door of vast opportunity, to
the benefit of the poor and ailing
children of our society.
The new building would accommodate
all the different departments in a much-
oriented manner.It would facilitate and
optimize the delivery of healthcare
management.
The main building would have the
outdoor facility of all the speciality,
hostel accommodation of the doctors
and nurses.The rest would be
converted to a nursing college, which
would help our patients to get better
nursing care.
Advances in diagnostics and critical
care management facility, with the
awareness of healthcare development
through media and technology, the
population at large seek for a diagnosis
of each and every disease of their
child. Overall, in the eastern part of our
country, the diagnostic facilitiesare
quite less for the uncommon/rare
diseases, which are no longer
uncommon nor rare amongst the
patients.
With the installation of all these
diagnostic equipment, ICH would be
able to provide diagnostic facilitiesfor
most of the diseases, malignancies,
genetic, endocrine, autoimmune etc., at
a relatively low cost.

T
Trends
Emerging
I n d u s t r y S a g a c i t y
he world has experienced the most significant global health crisis
Twith the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. In
such an unprecedented time, the industry saw an upsurge in
technologies that helped for detection of the spread of diseases, disinfec-
tants, ways to limit transformation as well as patient management, treat-
ment, and immunization, among many the discovery of a variety of
technologies like genetic analysis, clinical data storage had enabled the
development of precision in medicines. The adoption of Artificial Intelli-
gence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have made hospitals more
innovative and more efficient.
Technology is dramatically changing every aspect of our lives. It is not only
making a remarkable transformation in the service and manufacturing
sector, but its use has amplified across the entire health care sector.
Ÿ Cloud Computing
Cloud computing allows medical professionals to establish a patient’s
journey supported by tech-enabled telehealth and remote monitoring. It has
improved storing massive data and has eliminated the need for on-premises
data storage. Cloud does various tasks like integrating network, security,
billings, monitoring, and alerts, together with access and identity manage-
ment. It also provides smooth access to data storage and management, data
backup and recovery, smart data potential, and data interoperability.
inHea hcare
Industry

Ÿ Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence has put back the stress on the
healthcare sector by reducing the time-consuming and
labour-intensive processes into rapid and remotely accessi-
ble ones. AI has extended the use of digital products that
benefit clinical workflow management, advanced surgery
assistance, and medical diagnostic.
This technology has enabled several start-ups to participate
in its research. One such US start-up has offered AI-
powered autonomous monitoring. It helps monitor in0be
patients to prevent them from falling and predict pressure
ulcers, tremors, and other risks.
Ÿ Big DATA Analytics
Medical data collection, storage, diagnostic techniques, and
treatment planning have transformed with the revolution of
digitalization. As health and medical data volume is
expected to increase exponentially, big data analytics is the
solution to store health records securely.
They offer a decentralised platform for secure, fast, and
transparent exchange of medical data. Big Data and
Analytics uses blockchain technology which is safe and
protected with encryption.
Ÿ Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)
Internet of Medical Things is an instrument developed for
products that need less or no human intervention while
providing medical services. This instrument has recently
offered a sub-trend, namely the Cognitive Internet of
Medical Things. It helps integrate sensory information,
automatic processing, and communication through net-
works for real-time diagnosis.
The technology has offered multiple products for disinfect-
ing the air in the rooms, door handles, objects, surfaces,
handrails, etc. This is an easy-to-install technology in
settings like hospitals, clinics, offices, and airports. This
solution detects the number of people present in the room
and automatically disinfects the air by using ultraviolet light
radiation.
The technology has been further upgraded for dose
monitoring. This system guarantees the right time to deliver
a valid and monitored thermosensitive dose with innovative
disposal. Continuous tracking helps keep track of perfor-
mance diagnostic, battery levels, ambient, temperatures,
and even new doses.
Ÿ Telemedicine
Several governments, healthcare systems, clinicians, and
patients adopted telemedicine during the pandemic time. It
has proved to minimize the load on the facilities and lessen
the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
This technology offers a snapshot of all ICU patients and
beds while also predicting alerts for sepsis, mortality, early
warning patients, automated doctor notes, and nurse notes.
Ÿ 3D Printing
3D printing is gaining support and becoming popular in the
healthcare industry for many reasons. It comes with
multiple applications like printing lightweight prosthetics,
bionics, and casts to repair fractures. The use of low prices,
lightweight biomaterials, and smart materials secure
improvements in careful deliveries and safe time for
production while cutting costs. The technology is advancing
the development of patient-specific models of organs and
surgical tools using the patient's medical imaging. Addition-
ally, it includes better surgical instruments that increase a
surgeon’s support for better surgery outcomes while
providing faster and less traumatic procedures.
This technology has produced customized solutions to heal
fractures and sprains. The development of a hygienic,
waterproof, breathable, itch-proof, and reusable device
helps adapt immobilization to each patient’s condition. The
key benefits include onsite printing in clinical settings and
eliminating the time and cost of recasting with traditional
materials and techniques.
3D printing also provides a solution for surgery planning
and execution of the entire surgery. It uses radiological-
assisted models to visualize a patient’s anatomy before
starting the surgery. It helps doctors to predetermine the
surgical cuts.
A Future of Positive Growth
Technology has offered the healthcare sector the most
significant benefits and made it faster, easier, smooth, and
accessible. The access to information required for both
healthcare professionals and patients is readily available
and no longer do any of them need to wait and rely on
physical records. Such a change has lessened the burden on
the sector and seen a positive growth in the administrative
process, which was a dream before the pandemic years.

We Bring Your Child's Healthy Smile Back
D E N T A L C L I N I C
Dental hygiene is very much essential to keep your
child's smile and overall health intact. Usually,
children complain of toothaches, as their milk
tooth easily gets affected, if not regularly taken care of. This
leads them to pain, sometimes severe. And we can hardly
see our child in pain, severe or mild. Thus, we must take
them to a dentist. But convincing that child to visit a dentist
is more problematic than taking them to a hospital.
Children get petrified at the very idea of a dentist and are
always fearful of hospitals. We can hardly blame them, as
we too are not so keen on visiting either place. We try to
avoid them as much as possible.
All your preconceived scary notions are going to get wiped
out, once you hear about a dental clinic, where the doctors
not only treat your child as if they are their own and makes
them feel at home but also gives time to your child to get
over the fear before the treatment and provides comfort,
entertainment, gifts and even certificates once they have
treated the child.
It is surely going to put that healthy smile back on your
child's face and yours too once you hear more about the
Dentrelief Dental Clinic with a speciality in childcare.
Let us know more about the clinic, from its Owner and
Chief Dentist, Dr Rakay Ahmed's exclusive interview

About the Leader
We are one of the best childcare
clinics, as we provide painless
treatment and give a comfortable
and homely experience to children,
making them feel at home. Dr Rakay Ahmed
Owner and Chief Dentist

• friendly doctors, and their skilful hands and humble
nature
• We not only treat the patient's disease (problem) inside
the oral cavity but also try to make them feel
comfortable and remove their fear and anxiety of
visiting a dentist
• Our patients love us, and for that, we are thankful to
them
Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how
the adoption of modern technologies like AI and ML is
impacting the healthcare sector and how are you
adapting to the change?
Modern technologies are always good to learn about and
adapt in your setup. It is better to adapt the change as fast as
you can, because just like Darwin's Theory "survival of the
fittest", is what remains in the market.
So, learn and adapt to upgrade and provide excellent
treatment to your patients.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one the best things to use in
today's practice, where you reduce the number of sittings
and provide instant treatment for everything with single
visit dentistry.
Considering the current pandemic, what initial
challenges did you face and how did you drive the clinic
to sustain operations while ensuring the safety of your
employees at the same time?
Considering the current pandemic, during the early days,
we had to keep the clinic closed to ensure everyone's safety,
but as soon as the government allowed healthcare
professionals, we got back to our battlefield. I always kept
in my mind, to strictly follow all the SOPs like proper
sterilization, sanitization, temperature check every day, PPE
and regular RT-PCR test for all staff and doctors. Also,
fumigation and air purifier are installed in our clinic and all
other necessary steps have been fulfilled already.
What would be your advice to the young generation who
aspire to become childcare specialists?
My advice to the young dentist will be, to have patience
with children and do not rush into the treatment. First, try to
get friendly with them and enter their comfort zone. Then,
they will allow you to work. Afterwards comes your role, to
provide quality care and treatment with your skilful hands.
How do you envision scaling your clinic's operations and
offerings in 2022 and beyond?
We are planning to expand our clinic with multiple
branches in 2022, and even upgrade ourselves more and
more, to keep all our patients happy and provide a pain-free
beautiful smile to them.
What are your suggestions for parents in taking care of
their children's health in a post pandemic world?
Parents play a vital role in taking children's care, whether it
is dental care or general wellbeing.
First and foremost, do what you want your child to do. Be
an idol for them.
Second, a few things which can be done to keep a child's
dental care proper is always visiting a dentist every six
months.
Take proper care of milk teeth from the beginning, brush
with your child so that they also brush.
Wipe the gum pads of neonates after feeding.
The most important tip for everyone – "always rinse after
having anything",
Brush twice, daily, morning time to keep you friends,
nighttime to keep your teeth.

More than twenty-six million infants are born
annually in India. The health scenario of
maternal and neonatal care is extremely vital to
control the staggeringly high neonatal mortality in
developing countries, including India. With efficient
diagnosis and treatment, the medical and healthcare
providers are ensuring advancements in the clinics and
innovative developments in the hospitals.
Additionally, drastic changes can occur with greater
rapidity during an infant's operative and postoperative care
with the gradual understanding that a baby's physiological
responses are qualitatively and quantitively different from
an adult,
Familiarity with these responses and extended experience,
paediatric care units are necessary to ensure proper
treatment and essential care. One such clinic is Dr Uday
Bodhankar's Children Hospital, impacting the paediatric
sector with its top-notch healthcare services.

Live Healthy
of Healthy
Importance
Lifestyle
ife
L is precious but health is more precious because life
without health is insignificant. Good health has always been
crucial to human happiness and well-being. Health
contributes significantly to prosperity and wealth. It not only
improves your physical health but also elevates your mental and
spiritual well-being. The physical and mental wellness of the
population helps increase productivity, stimulates economic growth,
and helps attain long life.
Health gives your body an opportunity to live life to the fullest and
practice all activities that you desire to do. Practising a healthy
lifestyle rejuvenates your mind and helps it to be calm, intuitive, and
fresh. Although it becomes hard at times to maintain a healthy
lifestyle to develop it, one needs a change in their mindset. With a
focused goal, the firm will attend to this goal and consistency will
help achieve it.
Following are a few points that will help understand the importance
of a healthy lifestyle.
‘ without is just like without .’
Life health food taste

Ÿ Prevent Diseases
One of the most important things that good health provides
is improved immunity against an n-number of diseases, and
dangerous viruses and bacteria. For a healthy lifestyle, it is
very important that one chooses an active lifestyle because
an inactive lifestyle follows exposure to chronic diseases
like cancer, hypertension, and many among them which
might be very harmful to you.
Immunity is the leading principle that a man acquires when
he stays fit. A good healthy lifestyle not only saves people
from simple flu and stomach disorders but also from deadly
diseases. To achieve immunity and a healthy lifestyle,
exercise is a must. The combination of exercises and a
regular balanced diet helps improve a person’s metabolic
rate and thus improves the overall health condition.
Ÿ Boosts Energy level
A healthy lifestyle plays an essential role in boosting the
energy levels of a person and helps improve their
performance in every activity of life. A good healthy
lifestyle minimalizes the person’s lack of sleep and helps
acquire essential nutrients that are required for the precise
functioning of the body. To boost your energy levels, it is
very important that a person slightly changes their daily
habit and routine. To start with it is very important that pay
adequate attention to the food that you consume. Foods play
a very vital role as it impacts directly on your body and
behaviour. Eating unhealthy food makes a person feel
lethargic while on the other hand eating healthy food will
boost your energy levels.
A healthy diet should include fruits and vegetables that
provide fibre, low-fat dairy products and lean meat for
proteins, and whole grains for nutrients. A balanced diet
along with exercises and good sleep will help you stay fresh
and full of energy the entire day.
Ÿ Enhances Longevity
Studies have shown that if a person adopts a healthy
lifestyle, it has a positive effect on his daily routine. When
your body starts getting the right nutrients and minerals, it
starts correcting bad habits and moves to a healthier
lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle results in younger skin
improved and nourished hair and overall well-being of the
person. Such astonishing results collectively improve the
longevity of a person’s life.
Ÿ Enhances mood
It is well versed that bad habits are followed by bad moods.
Bad mood often results from fluctuation in blood sugar
levels and imbalance in nutrients. This happens because
unhealthy eating patterns like missing a meal, especially
breakfast can lead to low blood sugar.
It is very human that if a person is happy and satisfied,
he/she performs their work efficiently and creatively, but if
the mood is disturbed then they can hardly give their best in
any work. If a person practices a healthy lifestyle, it helps
the person to release stress and tension from his mind, thus
giving them the space to perform their task with full
intuition.
Ÿ Helps Manage Weight
By inculcating a healthy lifestyle into your daily routines, a
person strictly follows the rule of ‘consistency in exercise.’
This helps the person fulfil his/her desire of weight loss
target, increase immunity, and alleviate the energy levels.
A bare minimum of one hundred and fifty minutes of
workout per week is sufficient for a person to stay fit and
active. It is time and again proven that a disciplined
lifestyle helps manage weight effectively.
Studies have shown that a healthy lifestyle gives you a long
and happy life. With the increasing ubiquity of diseases, the
risk of dying from non-communicable diseases such as
heart disorders, diabetes, and cancer has been on a rise.
While in today’s world, there occur loss of life by getting
infected with communicable diseases as well. Hence, it is
very vital to follow basic steps for enriching your lifestyle,
boosting your immunity, and protecting yourself from these
viruses and bacteria that are taking over the world.

A Transforming and Healing Presence
C
hild Healthcare has
significantly changed in recent
years with the advancements
in medical technology and knowledge,
resulting in a better understanding of
emotional response in children.
Medical science, on the other hand, is
advancing at every moment. It is
enhancing the progress by new
developments towards the aim to
improve the survival and well-being of
all children. As a result, the growth of
sub-specialities for the super-
specialized care of children is
becoming an emerging trend in the
field of paediatric surgery.
Paediatric Surgery has become a well-
recognized interest speciality of
general surgery although its boundaries
remain poorly defined. As an area of
special interest in surgery, it has
developed primarily for two reasons.
The first of these is the unique nature
of congenital anomalies which occur in
newborn infants. The second reason
has been a gradual understanding that
the physiological responses of a baby
are qualitatively as well as quantitively
different from an adult and dramatic
changes can occur with greater rapidity
during the operative and postoperative
care of an infant.
Surgeries in the paediatric population
are always done with some serious
factors taken into thoughtful
consideration. One such factor is the
likelihood of spontaneous
improvement, which can avoid the
need for surgery, as there are high risks
involved in the operation.
In addition to this, the psychological
implications of the procedure and
diseases are always considered.
Likewise, the surgeon always uses the
optimal care and surgical techniques to
keep undesirable consequences to a
minimum. Familiarity with these
responses and an extended experience
with their management is essential for
proper surgical care of infants and
young children.
One such clinic that is contributing to
treating patients with their expertise in
Paediatric Surgery is Phadke

Hospital. Established in Pune, their
ethical surgery practice and experience
in dealing with complex cases make
them one of the best hospitals to treat
paediatric surgical and urological
problems.
In an exclusive interview with Insights
Success Dr Ajay Naik sheds light on
the clinic’s journey, the current
industry scenario, and his opinions on
the future of the clinic.
Please brief our audience about
Phadke hospital, your USPs, and
how you are currently positioned as
one of the best childcare clinics.
My clinic - Phadke Hospital, is situated
in the heart of Pune city in the well-
known locality of Deccan Gymkhana
(Jangali Maharaj road). It is easily
accessible to the patients by public and
private transport from all the areas
around Pune.
Having been trained for M.B.B.S and
M.S General Surgery from the
prestigious B.J Medical College and
Sassoon Hospital Pune and further M.
Ch in paediatric surgery from the well-
renowned Seth G.S Medical College
and KEM hospital Mumbai, we have
always strived in providing quality
medical care in the field of paediatric
surgery.
Tell us more about Phadke hospital’s
clinical practises and what aspects
make it stand out in the fierce
competition?
We offer a wide range of paediatric
surgical treatments which includes
paediatric urology, paediatric
gastrointestinal and thoracic surgeries.
We treat the majority of the congenital
anomalies which require surgical
management like congenital hernia,
undescended testis, and many such
congenital disorders.
We have a special hypospadias clinic
that caters to diverse types of
hypospadias.
Also, the clinic has a multidisciplinary
approach to the treatment of
constipation in children.
We also have facilities for laparoscopic
surgeries, cystoscopy, and
bronchoscopy. We have a backup of
Dr Ajay Naik

the competent paediatric anaesthetist.
The clinic has spacious outpatient
consulting rooms, a well-equipped
operation theatre and special rooms
and a general ward.
Please brief us about Ajay Naik’s
journey in the industry and how they
have made the clinic excel in its
niche.
This paediatric surgery clinic was
started in the early 1980s by my
mentor and one of the most famous
paediatric surgeons and teachers Dr
Dilip M Phadke. The legacy set by him
has been carried forward in imparting
the best possible treatment in
paediatric surgery.
Being an experienced leader, share
your opinion on how the adoption of
modern technologies like Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Machine
Learning (ML) are impacting the
healthcare sector and how are you
adapting to the change?
Modern technologies like AI and ML
have definitely brought a change in the
methods of consultation. We have also
adapted to this by utilising health-
related apps which makes it easier to
keep patient records and communicate
through SMS and WhatsApp groups.
We are in the process of utilising
telemedicine over consulting patients
in the comfort of their homes.
Considering the current pandemic,
what initial challenges did you face
and how did you drive the clinic to
sustain operations while ensuring the
safety of your employees at the same
time?
Because of the current pandemic many
patients were apprehensive about
getting the elective surgeries done. So,
there was a decrease in the number of
surmises in this pandemic period. We
even had difficulties in convincing
some staff to work in this challenging
situation.
After initial reluctance, they got
adapted to the situation after proper
counselling and vaccination.
What would be your advice to the
young generation who aspire to
become childcare specialists?
Paediatric surgery is an incredibly
challenging branch that requires
passion, patience, and the ability to
oversee the emotions of the patient and
their parents. So, my advice to the
young generation is that we have to be
competent, have effective
communication skills, and suitable
time management.
We should be sympathetic towards the
parents of children who have
congenital anomalies.
How do you envision scaling your
clinic’s operations and offerings in
2022 and beyond?
We have planned to further increase
the quality of the treatment offered by
us making use of modern equipment to
decrease the morbidity and mortality in
paediatric surgery, in the future.
