Understanding Pediatric Neurology and Our Department
Pediatric neurology is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating brain, spinal cord, and nervous system disorders in children from birth to teenage years. Unlike adult neurology, pediatric neurology deals with the unique challenges of developing nervous systems in growing children. At Rajan Hospital, our pediatric neurology in Madurai is specially designed to create a comfortable, child-friendly environment where young patients feel safe and relaxed.
How Our Department Works?
Our team includes specially trained pediatric neurologists, child psychologists, and nursing staff who understand how to communicate with children of all ages. We use age-appropriate examination techniques and explain procedures in simple terms that both parents and children can understand. Our department works closely with other specialists to provide complete care for complex conditions affecting your child's neurological development.
