Nutrition in health and diseases

Adequate nutrition is a necessity for growth. Your child's diet will not only support their normal growth and development, but also supports their immune system, and develops lifelong eating habits. Although dietary needs, appetites, and tastes will vary widely throughout childhood, it is important to consistently provide your child with healthy options from all of the major food groups.

Immunisation

How does immunisation works?

Immunisation is a simple and effective way of protecting children from serious diseases. It not only helps protect individuals, it also protects the broader community by minimising the spread of disease. Vaccines work by triggering the immune system to fight against certain diseases. If a vaccinated person comes in contact with these diseases, their immune system is able to respond more effectively, preventing the disease from developing or greatly reducing its severity.

Why should you get your child immunised?

Immunisation helps to avert about two to three million deaths per year (according to WHO). Immunisation is a very effective way to prevent mild as well as serious infections. Immunisation is also extremely cost-effective, especially considering the cost of treatment of various infections. Moreover, prevention is always better than cure. Immunisation not only prevents an individual from infections but also prevents the spreading of infection from one individual to another

At sarji hospital

Our dedicated team of 10 pediatricians along with DNB residents at sarji hospital counsel the each parent regarding the importance of immunisation. Along with the Universal Immunisation Programme launched by the Indian Government, we also administer various IAP (INDIAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS) recommended vaccines like pneumococcal, influenza, hepatitis a, chickenpox, typhoid and various adolescent vaccines like TdaP, HPV vaccine.

A vaccination calendar is given to parents for the immunization schedule from birth up to age 16. We maintain electronic records of the batch numbers of vaccines given to ensure traceability in times of need. Our hospital upholds the “cold chain” by ILR system that maintains optimal conditions during the transport, storage, and handling of vaccines, starting at the manufacturer and ending with the administration of the vaccine to the baby. Regular reminders/alerts are sent through SMS or by email to help with the follow-up.
