A Rare Case of Gastrointestinal Bleeding Following Varicella Infection in an 8-Year-Old Child
An 8-year-old child presented with multiple episodes of hematemesis (vomiting of blood) following a history of varicella infection approximately two weeks earlier. There was no history suggestive of chronic liver disease, medication use, or bleeding disorders. Initial evaluation showed normal platelet counts, normal INR levels, and only borderline elevation of liver enzymes, making common causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding less likely.

A Rare Case of Gastrointestinal Bleeding Following Varicella Infection in an 8-Year-Old Child
An 8-year-old child presented with multiple episodes of hematemesis (vomiting of blood) following a history of varicella infection approximately two weeks earlier. There was no history suggestive of chronic liver disease, medication use, or bleeding disorders. Initial evaluation showed normal platelet counts, normal INR levels, and only borderline elevation of liver enzymes, making common causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding less likely.
The child was evaluated by Dr. Sakshi Gupta, Associate Consultant, Pediatric Gastroenterology & Hepatology. In view of persistent hematemesis, an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed, which revealed multiple small hemorrhagic spots involving the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, along with inflammation and swelling of the mucosal lining. The findings suggested a widespread mucosal involvement rather than a localized source of bleeding.
Based on the clinical history and endoscopic findings, the child was diagnosed with hemorrhagic esophagogastroduodenitis, likely associated with a delayed complication following varicella infection. Appropriate management was initiated, and the child was monitored closely for recovery.
This case highlights the importance of considering rare gastrointestinal complications following common viral infections. It also emphasizes the role of timely endoscopic evaluation in children presenting with unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, even when routine blood tests and coagulation profiles appear normal.

A 10-month-old male infant presented with sudden-onset, large-volume painless bleeding per rectum. He passed bright red blood mixed with clots in significant quantity, leading to hemodynamic instability requiring PICU admission. There was no history of abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, or prior gastrointestinal symptoms.
On examination, the child was pale with tachycardia. Abdominal examination was soft without distension or tenderness. Digital rectal examination revealed fresh blood. Initial hemoglobin was 9.6 g/dL, with microcytic hypochromic features. Total leukocyte count and platelet count were within normal limits.
...A 10-month-old male infant presented with sudden-onset, large-volume painless bleeding per rectum. He passed bright red blood mixed with clots in significant quantity, leading to hemodynamic instability requiring PICU admission. There was no history of abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, or prior gastrointestinal symptoms.
On examination, the child was pale with tachycardia. Abdominal examination was soft without distension or tenderness. Digital rectal examination revealed fresh blood. Initial hemoglobin was 9.6 g/dL, with microcytic hypochromic features. Total leukocyte count and platelet count were within normal limits.
Resuscitation included intravenous fluids and blood transfusion support. Technetium-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy (Meckel’s scan) demonstrated focal uptake consistent with ectopic gastric mucosa in a Meckel’s diverticulum
The infant underwent surgical resection of the Meckel’s diverticulum. Intraoperatively, an intestinal segment containing the diverticulum (aggregate ~3 × 2 cm) was excised. Histopathology confirmed Meckel’s diverticulum lined by intestinal mucosa with transition to ectopic gastric mucosa (including foveolar epithelium, pyloric and oxyntic glands) along with lymphocytic infiltrate suggestive of meckel’s diverticulum with ectopic gastric mucosa
Postoperatively, the child recovered rapidly with stabilization of hemoglobin and no further bleeding. He was discharged in stable condition and is doing well on followup.
Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, with a prevalence of approximately 1–2%1. It classically follows the “rule of 2s” and frequently contains ectopic tissue (most commonly gastric), which can cause acid-induced ulceration and significant bleeding2.
Lesson 1: Clinical Suspicion Sudden, painless, massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding in a previously healthy infant under 2 years of age should raise strong suspicion for bleeding Meckel’s diverticulum3. Differential diagnoses include intussusception, juvenile polyps, or vascular malformations, but the volume and painless nature are highly suggestive. Anemia at presentation is common and supports the diagnosis.
Lesson 2: Diagnostic Imaging Technetium-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy remains a valuable non-invasive tool with high specificity when positive, as it detects ectopic gastric mucosa4. Sensitivity is higher in children with significant ectopic tissue5. A positive scan, as in this case, facilitates timely surgical planning. Negative scans do not completely exclude MD in high clinical suspicion cases.
Lesson 3: Surgical Management and Outcome Definitive treatment is surgical resection, either via diverticulectomy or segmental ileal resection6. Laparoscopic or laparoscopy-assisted approaches are preferred when feasible. Histopathological confirmation of ectopic gastric mucosa is important7. Complete excision typically results in excellent outcomes with no recurrence of bleeding, as observed in this infant8.
This case underscores the importance of prompt recognition, appropriate imaging, and surgical intervention in managing symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum. It highlights that even in infants approaching one year of age, MD with ectopic gastric mucosa can present dramatically but responds very well to timely management. Broader lessons include maintaining a high index of suspicion for MD in pediatric massive GI bleeding9 and the value of multidisciplinary care.

From Critical Congenital Anomalies to a Thriving Newborn: A Multidisciplinary Neonatal Triumph
The journey of a preterm infant born with multiple life-threatening congenital anomalies represents one of the greatest challenges in modern neonatal medicine. This case highlights the successful management and remarkable recovery of a late preterm baby girl born at 34 weeks of gestation. Admitted with a complex clinical presentation—including Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula (TEF), respiratory distress, a right-sided rib fracture, and a Hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus (Hs-PDA)—the newborn's recovery stands as a testament to advanced neonatal expertise and seamless multidisciplinary care. Through early diagnosis, timely surgical intervention, advanced intensive care ventilation and meticulous medical management, the infant progressed from a critical condition to becoming clinically stable, feeding orally and gaining weight. Today, her recovery reflects the world-class standard of care delivered by the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Yashoda Medicity.
The patient, a late preterm female infant, was delivered via Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) due to maternal polyhydramnios and leaking amniotic fluid. Although she cried immediately after birth following stimulation, routine delivery room assessment revealed an inability to pass a feeding tube into the stomach. An urgent X-ray demonstrated coiling of the feeding tube within the upper oesophageal pouch, confirming the diagnosis of Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula (TEF). This congenital condition, characterised by an abnormal connection between the oesophagus and trachea, carries an immediate risk of aspiration, respiratory failure and inability to feed.
The infant soon developed severe respiratory distress requiring immediate Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) support and subsequently mechanical ventilation following surgery. After extubation on the second post-operative day, she developed mild tachypnoea, tachycardia and a continuous cardiac murmur. A repeat echocardiogram confirmed a large Hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus (Hs-PDA) with a left-to-right shunt, placing significant strain on her cardiovascular system. Managing these multiple complex conditions required close collaboration between the departments of Neonatology, Paediatric Surgery, Paediatric Cardiology and Orthopaedics.
The cornerstone of her recovery was the successful primary surgical repair of the Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula, performed on the fourth day of life by eminent Paediatric Surgeon Dr. Minu Bajpai. Following surgery, the baby received advanced mechanical ventilation using Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) with Pressure Support and Volume Guarantee (VG) mode under sedation for five days. This lung-protective ventilation strategy effectively stabilised her respiratory status, allowing safe extubation to Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) and gradual weaning to room air by the eighth post-operative day.
The development of a symptomatic Hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus (Hs-PDA) following extubation required prompt medical management. Simultaneously, stringent infection prevention protocols were maintained throughout the hospital stay. Broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics were administered empirically for eight days, and the infant remained completely free from sepsis during her admission.
Through meticulous round-the-clock neonatal monitoring and comprehensive multidisciplinary care, the baby achieved an excellent recovery. Her weight increased steadily from 2.168 kg at birth to 2.260 kg at discharge, demonstrating appropriate nutritional progress. On the eighth post-operative day, a fluoroscopic oesophagogram confirmed completely normal swallowing with no evidence of an anastomotic leak, allowing gradual advancement of feeds. She successfully transitioned from orogastric tube feeding to paladai feeds on day nine, established full oral feeding by day fourteen, and was breastfeeding on demand before discharge. At the time of discharge, the infant was neurologically normal, haemodynamically stable, feeding well and had a healthy surgical wound.
A key contributor to this successful outcome was Dr. Minu Bajpai, whose exceptional surgical expertise enabled precise anatomical reconstruction of the oesophagus in this fragile newborn. Her surgical excellence laid the foundation for the infant's complete recovery and long-term well-being.
This remarkable case demonstrates the transformative impact of modern neonatal medicine, where rapid diagnosis, advanced surgical expertise, sophisticated intensive care and coordinated multidisciplinary management can successfully overcome even the most complex congenital conditions, giving vulnerable newborns the opportunity to thrive and lead healthy lives.

Overcoming the Odds: A Neonatal Breakthrough in Severe RDS and Life-Threatening PPHN
In a definitive showcase of advanced critical care capabilities, Yashoda Medicity successfully managed and treated a highly volatile clinical crisis involving an early-term neonate suffering from severe Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN).
The male infant was delivered via Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) at 37 weeks of gestation and was immediately transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) after developing early signs of respiratory distress, including marked nasal flaring, tachypnoea, audible grunting and significant chest wall retractions. On admission, the baby had a Downes score of 4/10, requiring urgent Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) with a high oxygen requirement. Initial chest radiographs revealed low-volume lungs, confirming Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and necessitating immediate advanced neonatal respiratory support.
The infant's condition rapidly became more complex as respiratory distress worsened despite aggressive non-invasive ventilation. The neonatal team promptly administered the first dose of Curosurf® using the advanced Less Invasive Surfactant Administration (LISA) technique, resulting in temporary stabilisation. However, approximately 12 hours later, the baby's condition deteriorated significantly, with oxygen requirements increasing to 50% along with persistent respiratory retractions.
An urgent bedside 2D echocardiography, performed by Dr. Gaurav Kumar, Paediatric Cardiologist, revealed severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with a dilated right atrium and right ventricle, a moderate-sized Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) and an aneurysmal interatrial septum. At the same time, a repeat chest X-ray demonstrated progression to Grade 3 Respiratory Distress Syndrome, indicating worsening lung disease complicated by secondary Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN).
Faced with these life-threatening complications, the multidisciplinary team immediately intubated the neonate, initiated Volume-Guaranteed (VG) mechanical ventilation, provided targeted sedation and administered a second dose of surfactant.
The success of this delicate recovery was led by the meticulous clinical expertise of Dr. Srijan Singh, Consultant Neonatologist, whose precise management of neonatal haemodynamics and advanced ventilator strategies proved lifesaving. Following the second dose of surfactant, the infant showed remarkable improvement, with oxygen requirements falling to 30% and arterial blood gas parameters returning to normal.
A follow-up echocardiogram performed within 24 hours confirmed complete resolution of severe pulmonary hypertension. This significant improvement allowed successful extubation back to NIPPV, followed by gradual weaning to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) over the next 48 hours. The infant was subsequently transitioned off all respiratory support and maintained stable spontaneous breathing.
By the eighth day of life, the newborn had made a complete recovery from severe Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN). The baby demonstrated normal neurological status, steady weight gain and complete haemodynamic stability, and was discharged in excellent health.
This case highlights the exceptional standard of neonatal intensive care at Yashoda Medicity, demonstrating how early diagnosis, timely surfactant therapy, advanced ventilatory support and coordinated multidisciplinary care can successfully manage even the most complex neonatal emergencies, leading to outstanding clinical outcomes.

Rare Anterior Urethral Diverticulum Unmasked After Posterior Urethral Valve Ablation in a Male Infant
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) represent the most common cause of congenital bladder outlet obstruction in male infants(1,2). In contrast, anterior urethral valves (AUV) and associated congenital anterior urethral diverticula (CAUD) are rare, occurring 15–30 times less frequently(3).

Rare Anterior Urethral Diverticulum Unmasked After Posterior Urethral Valve Ablation in a Male Infant
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) represent the most common cause of congenital bladder outlet obstruction in male infants(1,2). In contrast, anterior urethral valves (AUV) and associated congenital anterior urethral diverticula (CAUD) are rare, occurring 15–30 times less frequently(3). The coexistence of both proximal (PUV) and distal (AUV/CAUD) obstructions poses unique diagnostic challenges because the dominant proximal lesion can limit distension and mask the distal anomaly until after ablation(4). Literature indicates that such combined anomalies may present with persistent or recurrent obstructive symptoms, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and upper tract deterioration post-PUV management(4–6). Early recognition via imaging (e.g., MCU) and cystoscopy is critical to prevent complications such as progressive renal damage, bladder dysfunction, or recurrent infections. This report describes a case of an anterior urethral diverticulum unmasked after PUV ablation, successfully managed with surgical reconstruction.
Case Report:
A 2-month-old male infant, born at term via normal vaginal delivery with unremarkableantenatal history, was referred as a follow-up case of PUV. On day 6 of life, he underwent cystoscopic ablation of PUV at our center for obstructive uropathy. Preoperative MCU on day2 of life demonstrated classic PUV findings . He presented at 2 months with high-grade fever (up to 102°F), poor urinary stream, dribbling, intermittent penile swelling that reduced after micturition, and dysuria. No hematuria, constipation, or neurological deficits were reported. Family history was unremarkable. On examination, the infant was irritable with mild dehydration. Abdominal palpation revealed a distended bladder. Genital examination showed ventral penile swelling that partially decompressed post-voiding . No hypospadias or other anomalies were noted. Vital signs were stable aside from fever. Labs showed leukocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein, and urine culture positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae (sensitive to targeted antibiotics). Mild azotemia was present. Ultrasonography confirmed bilateral
hydroureteronephrosis and thickened bladder wall.
After stabilization with antibiotics and bladder drainage, a repeat MCU demonstrated a
saccular outpouching consistent with an anterior urethral diverticulum/valve, delayed
emptying, residual dilated posterior urethra, trabeculated bladder, and bilateral grade III–IV
vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) or hydroureteronephrosis . The distal
anomaly had been masked by the prior proximal obstruction.
Following resolution of infection, the infant underwent cystoscopy and urethroplasty under
general anesthesia. Intraoperative findings confirmed a significant anterior urethral
diverticulum with a valve-like membrane. The base of the diverticulum was carefully incised
to create a controlled fistula for decompression of the obstructed system . This will
be followed by meticulous urethroplasty: excision of redundant diverticular tissue,reconstruction of the urethral continuity using fine absorbable sutures to ensure a wide caliber
lumen without tension, and multilayer closure to support the repair.
The patient remained stable perioperatively. He was monitored for 24 hours with analgesia
and prophylactic antibiotics. He was discharged on postoperative day 14, afebrile, feeding
well, gaining weight, and voiding with a good stream. Follow-up ultrasonography showed
improving hydroureteronephrosis. Long-term surveillance for renal function, bladder
dynamics, and stricture is planned.
Discussion:
The association of anterior urethral diverticulum/valve with PUV is rare, with limited cases
reported(7). The proximal PUV restricts distal urethral filling, often delaying manifestation of
the anterior lesion until after ablation(4). Persistent symptoms post-PUV treatment should
prompt evaluation for concomitant distal anomalies(7).
MCU is the gold standard for diagnosis, revealing the diverticular outpouching, “spinning
top” urethra, and associated VUR or hydronephrosis(8,9). Cystoscopy confirms the valve-like
membrane and diverticulum(7).
Management is individualized based on size and tissue support. Small valves may respond to
endoscopic fulguration or laser ablation. Larger saccular diverticula, as in this case, require
open diverticulectomy and urethroplasty to excise redundant tissue, reconstruct continuity,
reduce dead space, and prevent complications (e.g., stones, recurrent infection, or
stricture)(3,10). Techniques range from primary anastomosis to staged repairs or substitution
urethroplasty in complex cases(11–13).
This case achieved excellent short-term outcomes with controlled decompression and
meticulous reconstruction. Potential complications of untreated CAUD include renal
deterioration and bladder decompensation(14,15). Thorough endoscopic evaluation and
individualized surgery are essential.

Complete Duodenal Obstruction Due to Transmesenteric Internal Bowel Herniation and Congenital Bands: A Lifesaving Neonatal Intervention
In a remarkable clinical milestone that underscores the power of swift, multidisciplinary intervention, Yashoda Medicity successfully managed and treated a highly critical, life-threatening congenital anomaly in a 4-day-old neonate. The male infant, Baby of Pushpa, was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) following a critical referral, presenting with an acute history of multiple episodes of bilious vomiting, significant abdominal distension, and sluggish bowel sounds. Recognizing the extreme urgency of the situation, the clinical team immediately initiated stabilization protocols, making the baby nil per os (NPO), commencing intravenous fluid resuscitation, administering empirical antibiotics, and inserting a nasogastric/orogastric tube. Initial abdominal radiographs revealed a severely dilated stomach paired with a concerning gasless abdomen, signaling a high-grade gastrointestinal obstruction that required immediate expert diagnostic elucidation and surgical evaluation.
The case rapidly transformed into a collaborative triumph through the immediate involvement of the hospital's elite pediatric medical leadership. Dr. Minu Bajpai, an eminent and veteran pediatric surgeon whose vast experience and decisive clinical acumen are widely recognized, was promptly consulted to guide the surgical trajectory. Dr. Bajpai recommended a gastrograffin contrast study, which definitively demonstrated a complete mechanical obstruction at the level of the second part of the duodenum alongside proximal gastro-duodenal dilatation. Armed with this critical insight, Dr. Bajpai led the surgical team in performing an emergent exploratory laparotomy. The intraoperative findings revealed a rare and treacherous internal internal herniation of the small bowel through the transverse mesocolon, compounded by restrictive congenital bands compromising the second part of the duodenum. With meticulous precision, the surgical team divided the bands and successfully achieved complete deherniation of the entrapped bowel, resolving the primary anatomical crisis.
Following the intricate surgical procedure, the complex task of critical post-operative management fell to the highly accomplished neonatologist, Dr. Srijan Singh, whose specialized dedication to neonatal intensive care proved pivotal to the infant’s survival. Dr. Singh orchestrated a comprehensive, advanced recovery plan in the NICU, keeping the fragile neonate NPO and introducing Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line to sustain metabolic demands. Under Dr. Singh’s vigilant oversight, the baby received tailored mechanical ventilation for 36 hours before being successfully extubated to room air. Dr. Singh ordered a repeat gastrograffin study, which confirmed a perfectly patent, non-obstructed post-operative duodenum with excellent contrast passage.
The synergistic collaboration between the surgical prowess of Dr. Minu Bajpai and the meticulous, expert neonatal care of Dr. Srijan Singh ensured a flawless trajectory toward recovery. Over the subsequent days, enteral feeds were gradually advanced, the post-operative sepsis screen remained entirely negative, and blood cultures proved sterile, allowing the safe discontinuation of intravenous antibiotics. By the tenth post-operative day, the infant demonstrated a complete clinical turnaround—actively accepting full breastfeeds and paladai feeds, passing normal stools without any vomiting, and steadily gaining weight. The infant was discharged in a hemodynamically stable condition with a healthy, healing surgical site. This extraordinary breakthrough highlights the world-class neonatal and pediatric surgical capabilities available at Yashoda Medicity, showcasing how seamless teamwork, clinical expertise, and cutting-edge intensive care can rewrite the medical outcomes for the most vulnerable patients.

Excellent hospital with caring staff and outstanding medical services. Special thanks to Dr. Vaibhav Saxena for successfully performing my husband's surgery with great expertise and care. We are truly grateful for the excellent treatment and support for doctor Vaibhav saxena 🙏💐
It was a very good experience, I had a cholecystectomy. All the doctors including surgeon, anesthetic, nursing and housekeeping staff were very supportive. I was admitted for 24 hours. Quick and very fast recovery. Under Dr P.K.Dewan, sir is very humble and nice.
A tremendous job has been done by Dr. Amit Sharma. I met with an accident in which the ACL ligament of my left knee was completely torn. I met Dr. Amit Sharma then he analysed the situation and told us about the procedure and the time period to recover from the injury. He has performed a successful surgery. The good thing is the confidence that Dr. Amit Sharma has on his surgery that he didn’t put braces on the knee while other doctors put the braces on for a month and then started Physiotherapy which will take a longer time period to heal from the injury. Dr. Amit Sharma has started the Physiotherapy from the very next day of the surgery and i was discharged in 2 days, and the Physiotherapy is undergoing at my home. It's the 10th day today and I have gained so much confidence in 10 days that I am recovering very fast and in a few weeks I will be able to walk without any support. Thanks to Dr. Amit Sharma, he is really having magical hands, he is very kind in nature, in my regular visits all of my stress went away after talking to him. Again Thank You so much Doctor

The ICU doctors, nurses, and support staff worked tirelessly around the clock. They were attentive, professional, and caring, ensuring that every concern was addressed promptly. Their commitment gave us confidence during one of the most challenging periods for our family.
While no family wants to experience an ICU admission, the medical expertise and compassionate care we received at Yashoda Hospital made a significant difference. Thank you to the entire ICU team and the doctors for helping our daughter on her road to recovery. We sincerely appreciate all your efforts and wish the entire team continued success in serving patients with the same dedication.
I had a wonderful experience with my gynecologist Dr Preeti Agarwal throughout my pregnancy in 2019. She is extremely supportive, patient, and compassionate. She explains every concern clearly, making it easy to understand the treatment and next steps. She is also available on call whenever needed, which gave me great reassurance during my pregnancy. Due to this I consulted her again for my second pregnancy in 2026. Her guidance was always practical, honest, and comforting. I truly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring gynecologist.
She is the best gynecologist
I went for a routine gynecological check-up. Dr. Divya Arora is very knowledgeable and patiently addressed all my concerns. She also educated me on general health awareness, which we as women often overlook in this fast-paced world.
Also, almost all the departments are functioning well here.
All experience good, patient treatment was good, satisfied with all the services, nursing staff and doctors team also good and cooperative.
I had an excellent experience at Yashoda Hospital for my mother’s Total Knee Replacement Surgery.
From a clinical perspective, Dr. Amit Sharma and his team were outstanding. Their expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the process, and they did a fantastic job with the surgery and post-operative care.
Beyond the medical treatment, the administrative side was equally impressive. Mr. Varun took complete charge of the Insurance (TPA) and admission process, ensuring everything was seamless and stress-free for our family. His coordination made a significant difference in our overall experience.
We are truly grateful to the entire team for their dedication and care. Highly recommended!
We are extremely grateful to Dr. Gourav Thakral and Dr. Brajesh Koushle and their entire team for my father’s knee surgery. From the first consultation to the surgery and post-operative care, everything was handled with great professionalism, patience, and care.

A big thank you to the entire staff for being supportive, responsive, and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone looking for expert knee treatment and surgery.
I recently had an experience at Yashoda Medicity, Indirapuram, and I must say it is easily one of the most advanced healthcare facilities in the Delhi NCR region. From the moment you walk in, the international-standard infrastructure and the clean, organized environment stand out.
The medical team is exceptional—highly professional, empathetic, and thorough in their diagnosis. I was particularly impressed by their use of cutting-edge technology, including robotic surgery options and a very efficient diagnostic lab. Unlike many large hospitals, the wait times here are well-managed, and the nursing staff is incredibly attentive and polite.
Whether it’s for a routine check-up or specialized treatment, the level of care and transparency regarding the process is reassuring. It truly feels like a world-class institution dedicated to patient well-being. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality medical care in Ghaziabad.
