INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL PAEDIATRICS
1 HISTORY: INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL PAEDIATRICS
Child care in Stanley medical college started in 1900s. A dedicated children’s ward was
subsequently opened. Institute of social paediatrics was established in the year 1988. It was
opened as a center for child care and to implement research programme .Today we
function as 4 units in the 8 storey block. Additionally ISP also has a separate paediatric
surgery and paediatric neurology unit.
Each of the four general paediatric units has 40 inpatient beds each and runs outpatient
services daily from 7.30am to 12pm. In addition to general paediatric work, we also
provide specialty outpatient clinic services in cardiology, pulmonology , nephrology , nutrition, endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology and child guidance. Immunization is provided on all days.
The district early intervention center in first floor functions daily.
The outpatient department also has separate lab, pharmacy and x-ray services.
Besides this, a well equipped emergency room provides 24 hours emergency paediatric and
newborn care. The paediatric intensive care unit is an 8 bedded facility equipped with
ventilator and HFNC to manage critically ill children. There is a separate 17 bedded high
dependency ward which functions as a step down ward for patients in PICU and admits sick
children requiring close monitoring and oxygen support.
The NICU in ISP, cares for sick newborns referred from nearby PHC s and is well equipped
with ventilators , CPAP and LEDs for phototherapy. Newborn outpatient care is also
provided.
The paediatric neurology department extends outpatient services daily and has an
independent 20 bedded inpatient ward. Inpatient EEG facility is available.
The paediatric surgery department functions in the 7th floor with its own operation
theatre located on the sixth floor.
In addition, a separate neonatal care unit functions in the Rajah Sir Ramaswamy Mudaliar
