KKCTH, South India's leading pediatric tertiary care hospital, celebrates 47 years of service, over 56,000 surgeries since 2012, and national recognition as a top pediatric hospital with advanced NICU, PICU, and 30 specialty departments.

 
Kanchi Kamakoti CHILDS Trust Hospital (KKCTH), Chennai's premier exclusive children's and women's health institution, continues to set the standard for pediatric tertiary care in South India, marking 47 years of dedicated service to children and families.

Founded with a mission to provide quality, affordable healthcare to children regardless of economic status, caste, or religion, KKCTH today operates 30 specialty departments with over 50 full-time and visiting consultant doctors across 200 beds. The hospital has performed more than 56,000 surgeries since 2012 and provides round-the-clock pediatric emergency, laboratory, and intensive care services.

KKCTH's Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), established in 1990, manages nearly 1,000 high-risk newborns annually with a survival rate exceeding 95%, supporting infants from birth weights as low as 450 grams. The hospital also houses South India's first private-sector Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), operational since 1991, alongside dedicated departments for pediatric surgery, cardiology, neurology, oncology, and more, all under one roof.

The hospital's clinical excellence has been recognized nationally, including 2nd place in the All India Best Pediatrics Hospitals ranking by Outlook and NEB Research, the AHPI Excellence Award for Single Speciality Hospital of the Year (North Zone), and the FICCI Institutional Excellence Award for operational excellence and innovation.

KKCTH has also recently received generous equipment donations from partners including enGen Global, Amphenol Omniconnect India, and the Rotary Club, strengthening its PICU, diagnostic, and pediatric dialysis capabilities.

"Our mission has always been to ensure every child receives care and attention through competent medical personnel and up-to-date technology, delivered at a fair and affordable cost," said a hospital spokesperson.
