The Paediatric Surgery Unit at KEM Hospital, Pune began in 1971 as the first of its kind in
Pune. We understand the special needs of children and are renowned for our unique surgical
expertise and skills. We are committed to delivering comprehensive and compassionate family-
centred care, conducting innovative medical research, and providing the best training to our
surgeons and physicians.

The goal of this specialised branch of surgery is to reduce mortality and morbidity following
surgery on children. Nearly 4500 children attend the OPD service every year and over a 1000
paediatric surgeries are performed yearly. We are a centre of excellence in Paediatric Urology.
Our research is targeted at developing new techniques and medicines that make surgery both
safe and effective.

The key to the success story of this department is a strong belief in team spirit, active interaction
with anaesthesiology and paediatric departments and committed nursing service.
