Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Dr. Sapana Jain is a dedicated Pediatric Intensive Care specialist at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chetpet, Chennai. She holds a dual DNB in both Paediatrics and Paediatric Critical Care, a combination that reflects rigorous, structured subspecialty training in managing the most critically ill children. Her DNB (Pediatric Critical Care) is a nationally recognised postgraduate qualification specifically focused on intensive care medicine for children, equipping her to handle complex, life-threatening conditions with precision and protocol-driven expertise.

The Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is one of the most demanding environments in medicine, where children with severe infections, respiratory failure, shock, neurological emergencies, and post-surgical complications require round-the-clock monitoring and advanced interventions. Dr. Sapana’s dual board training ensures she is comprehensively prepared for this environment, combining foundational paediatric knowledge with specialised critical care skills.

At Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai, one of Tamil Nadu’s leading dedicated children’s hospitals, Dr. Sapana Jain is an integral part of the PICU team, providing expert, compassionate intensive care to critically ill children and guidance to their families during the most difficult moments. Families can contact the hospital directly to reach Dr. Sapana for PICU consultations and admissions.
