What our customers are saying about:

Dr. R. Kishore Kumar

*When I was 30 weeks, unexpectedly I had to deliver. Dr. Kishore Kumar had to do my delivery at midnight 12 O'clock. I was here in the hospital for 47 days and my baby was in the NICU for 32 days. All the doctors, including Dr. Nandini, Dr. Girish and Dr. Kishore Kumar were very cooperative and treated the baby very well. They took good care of us. Thank you".

We have been associated with Cloudnine for the last six years. This time we came in emergency with my daughter's breathing problem. She got immediate attention and shifted to the ICU. The entire team of doctor's, nurse's and everyone took immense care of her and she's well today. I would like to give special thanks to Dr. Mahesh and Dr. R Kishore Kumar, who have been there to make her well.

Why should parents go for Newborn Screening? I Dr. R. Kishore Kumar
"Newborn screening saves lives. It has saved lives for the last 50 years in the world. If the baby has any cardiovascular problem or heart problem or a baby with a biochemical or enzymatic deficiencies they cannot be taken up in physical examination by a paediatrician or a neonatologist and they can be only picked up by a test called as neonatal screening and if you pick up them they may lead a normal life. If they don’t pick up they can damage life. So it is important to do newborn screening at birth to save neonatal life"

Jaundice in newborns can cause problems if it is not treated. If the levels of Jaundice is extremely high, the baby might develop Kernicterus, which damages the brain.

What is Newborn Screening? - Dr. Kishore Kumar
Newborn screening is the screening of all newborns for potential diseases which may not be obvious by just looking at the babies. Sometimes, biochemically or enzymatically, babies may or may not be normal. Screening will help detect any biochemical or cardiovascular irregularities in newborns.

Are investigations for Neonatal Jaundice mandatory? - Dr. Kishore Kumar
Jaundice does not necessarily need investigation. We check jaundice for babies at 36-48 hours of age which gives a predictive value with which we can assess whether the baby needs treatment or not. If the Jaundice becomes pathological then all other causes such as urine infection, thyroid and other problems will have to be ruled out. For more information, visit cloudninecare.com
How is Newborn Screening done? - Dr. Kishore Kumar
Newborn screening can be done for various reasons. Here are the most common screenings: 1. Congenital Heart disorders - screening is done after 24 hours of age 2. Bio-chemical disorders - screening is done after 36 hours of age to check for congenital hypothyroidism For more information, visit cloudninecare.com
Benefits of Newborn Screening - Dr. Kishore Kumar
Newborn screening saves lives. If a baby has any cardiovascular problem or biochemical deficiencies which cannot be picked up by a regular clinical screening, it could be fatal. Hence it is crucial to screen newborns at birth to detect any irregularities early and treat them. For more information, visit cloudninecare.com
