Pediatric Liver & GI Critical Care

Liver disease and serious gastrointestinal emergencies in children are complex and require a specialist who understands both the critical care and the underlying organ-specific issues. Dr. Rajesh Shah brings a unique depth of expertise here – with over 6 years of hands-on experience managing critically ill children with liver disease, including those undergoing liver transplantation. KIMS Children’s Hospital is one of the few centres in the Thane-Mumbai region with this level of dedicated pediatric liver critical care.
