The process of growth and development is also different in paediatric patients than in adults. The role of a paediatrician is to provide general medical services to the infants and children.

The Paediatric Department at RMI provides comprehensive medical care and clinical services to childern. Being a tertiary center, it not only accepts walk-in-patients from its own Emergency and Out Patient Department but also gets direct referrals from other remote hospitals of the region as well. Neonatal Intensive Care services are available to new born babies with close follow up clinics.

Both Out and Inpatient facilities are available not only to look after minor and major medical illnesses of children, but facilities of growth and developmental monitoring, nutritional requirements, neonatal and pediatric surgeries are all provided under supervision of experienced senior faculty, under one roof. The Pediatric Department also provides specialized pediatric care to children admitted under other sub specialties in the hospital.
