Department of Pediatric Surgery
“Children are not miniature adults”:
With this concept in mind, Phoenix Hospital in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi along with highly qualified Senior Pediatric Surgeons and their support staff provide you with comprehensive Pediatric surgery care with PICU, NICU, Pediatric Anesthesiology, Post-operative care, and Pediatric Imaging services all under one roof.
Pediatric Surgeons are trained professionals performing Day care surgeries and complex neonatal surgery & Laparoscopic surgeries in infants and adolescents. All types of Hernia repair surgery including inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, and ventral hernia in children can be attended by our Pediatric Surgeons.
The custom child-friendly ambiance of the hospital and staff makes the hospital experience of your child least traumatic.
To reduce the overall stay of your child in our hospital, we have introduced the concept of Day Care Surgery for children where the child gets admitted, operated and discharged on the same day.
