Caring for Every Newborn’s First Breath with Expertise & Compassion
Every Newborn Deserves the Best Start in Life
I’m Dr. Venugopal, MD (Pediatrics), DM (Neonatology – AIIMS, New Delhi). My journey in medicine began with a deep desire to care for the most vulnerable — newborn babies. Over the years, I have treated more than 20,000 pediatric and neonatal cases, including extremely premature babies, birth asphyxia, surgical neonates, and rare metabolic conditions.
In Shivamogga, I established the region’s first Level III NICU, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to care for critically ill newborns. My focus has always been on combining evidence-based medicine with compassionate care — supporting both the baby and the family through every step.
