Every child deserves the very best start in life — and at Moolchand Hospital, a legacy of more than 90 years in neonatal and paediatric medicine ensures that every newborn and child receives precisely that. As one of the best children's hospitals in Delhi, Moolchand's Neonatal and Paediatrics department provides comprehensive, end-to-end care for patients from birth through adolescence — combining the most advanced clinical infrastructure with a compassionate, family-centred approach that places the child and their family at the heart of every clinical decision.
Located near Lajpat Nagar, Moolchand Hospital Delhi's neonatal and paediatric programme is a nationally recognised tertiary referral centre for complex and rare neonatal and paediatric conditions that often cannot be managed at other hospitals. The department has established an extraordinary track record in neonatal medicine — including the successful management of one of the youngest premature babies in India, born at just 25 weeks gestational age, as well as babies with diabetic cardiomyopathy, extremely low birth weight and complex congenital anomalies. Leading hospitals across India refer their most challenging neonatal and paediatric cases to Moolchand, reflecting the unparalleled trust placed in the department's expertise and clinical infrastructure.
As a leading multi super speciality hospital in Delhi, Moolchand's neonatal and paediatrics department is supported by a fully equipped Level III NICU, dedicated paediatric intensive care facilities, advanced paediatric diagnostic infrastructure and a complete range of paediatric subspecialty services — including paediatric neurology, cardiology, surgery, gastroenterology, endocrinology, nephrology, haematology and oncology. This integrated, multidisciplinary approach ensures that every child — from the most critically ill premature newborn to the adolescent with a complex chronic condition — receives individualised, evidence-based and clinically excellent care under one roof.
Moolchand Care Pathways — protocol-driven and reflective of global best practices — underpin every clinical decision in the neonatal and paediatrics department, ensuring consistently high-quality, ethically guided care at every stage of childhood. With outstanding physicians, a completely sanitised clinical environment, world-class facilities and a genuine commitment to superior clinical outcomes, Moolchand Hospital Lajpat Nagar remains the most trusted destination for neonatal and paediatric healthcare in Delhi and across India.
