While summer brings with it the promise of sunshine, warmth, and outdoor adventures, it also presents its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to travelling with kids. The scorching heat can be relentless, posing risks of dehydration, sunburns, and heat-related illnesses if precautions aren’t taken. Moreover, crowded attractions, long queues, and heightened travel demands can test the patience of even the most seasoned travellers, let alone children who may find it harder to cope with the heat and disruptions to their routines.

However, with careful planning, foresight, and the right strategies in place, summer travel with kids can still be a rewarding and memorable experience for the whole family. It’s all about being prepared, staying vigilant, and ensuring the safety and comfort of your little ones amidst the summer’s sweltering embrace. Ankura Hospital likely offers some valuable tips for parents travelling with kids during the summer. Here are some general tips that may be helpful:

Stay Hydrated: Ensure your children drink plenty of water, especially during hot weather. Dehydration can happen quickly, so carry water bottles and encourage regular hydration breaks.

Sun Protection: Shield your kids from the sun’s harmful rays by applying sunscreen with a high SPF, dressing them in lightweight, protective clothing, and providing wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.

Plan Rest Stops: Long journeys can be exhausting for children. Plan regular breaks to let them stretch their legs, use the restroom, and have a snack.

Pack Healthy Snacks: Avoid relying on fast food during travel. Pack nutritious snacks like fruits, nuts, and granola bars to keep hunger at bay and energy levels up.

Entertainment: Bring along books, toys, games, or devices loaded with kid-friendly apps or movies to keep them entertained during the trip.

Safety First: Ensure car seats and seat belts are properly installed and used at all times. If flying, review safety procedures with your kids and keep important documents handy.

Prepare for Motion Sickness: If your child is prone to motion sickness, pack medications or remedies recommended by your paediatrician. Avoid heavy meals before travel.

Research Medical Facilities: Before travelling, identify hospitals or medical facilities along your route or at your destination in case of emergencies.

Maintain Routine: While travel disrupts routines, try to maintain some consistency, especially with sleep schedules, to help children adjust more easily.

Bug Protection: If travelling to areas with mosquitoes or other insects, use insect repellent and clothing that covers exposed skin to prevent insect bites and potential illnesses.

Be Flexible: Traveling with kids can be unpredictable. Stay flexible and patient, and be prepared to adapt plans as needed to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.

Hyderabad, 17th April 2024 – Ankura Hospital for Women and Children is proud to announce a remarkable medical achievement- the successful completion of a complex lung surgery on a 4-month-old infant. The surgery was performed by the esteemed paediatric surgery team at the Banjara Hills branch of Ankura Hospital.

The infant, diagnosed with Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation (CPAM) before birth, required immediate intervention to prevent potential complications affecting growth and development, as well as the threat of future cancer development. Led by Dr VVS Chandrasekharam, Chief Surgeon of Paediatric Surgery and Paediatric Urology, a highly skilled team of doctors undertook the challenging task with precision and expertise.

Utilizing advanced techniques including thoracoscopic lobectomy, the surgeons successfully removed the diseased portion of the lung through minimally invasive methods. This innovative approach, unique to Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, ensures reduced debility, pain, and complications, facilitating early discharge and recovery.

Despite encountering additional complexities during the procedure, such as the discovery of a hybrid lesion with extra blood supply, the surgical team navigated through the challenges seamlessly, ensuring the best possible outcome for the infant. Following surgery, the baby received meticulous care in Ankura Hospital’s level III Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and made a swift recovery, much to the relief of the parents.

“Timely identification and intervention are paramount in safeguarding children from the potential complications of such unfortunate anomalies,” said Dr VVS Chandrasekharam, Chief Surgeon, of Paediatric Surgery and Paediatric Urology, Ankura Hospital for Women and Children. “Congenital anomalies of the lung are rare entities with an incidence of 30-42 per 1lakh individuals. Timely identification of these lesions can protect children from devastating lung infections and cancers when older and can help them grow as healthy individuals.”

Dr. Chandrasekharam emphasized the importance of advancements in paediatric surgery, highlighting the role of techniques like thoracoscopy in minimizing pain and enhancing recovery for infants.

Ankura Hospital for Women and Children is renowned for its expertise in diagnosing and treating congenital anomalies, with a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for children and their families. This latest success further solidifies Ankura Hospital’s position as a leader in paediatric surgery, showcasing the team’s unwavering dedication and proficiency.

9M Fertility by Ankura Hospital Redefines Success, and Embraces Growth in the Last one year

Hyderabad: 08th April 2024  – 9M Fertility, a pioneering division of Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, proudly celebrates its first anniversary with groundbreaking achievements in the field of assisted reproduction.

Ankura Hospital, renowned for its commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare services, introduced 9M Fertility as a beacon of excellence in infertility care. Over the past year, 9M Fertility has emerged as a leader in the industry, boasting an exceptional overall success rate of 79.5%.

In recent months, 9M Fertility has achieved remarkable success rates, with a soaring 82% success rate in the last three months and a consistent 83% success rate over the last six months. These figures far surpass global averages for fertility treatments, setting a new standard for excellence in reproductive medicine.

The success of 9M Fertility is attributed to its commitment to four pillars: Ethical and transparent service, Individualized approach, Evidence-based treatments, and Advanced technology. By leveraging advanced fertility treatment options such as Pre-genetic tests (PGT) and the Endometrial receptive array (ERA), 9M Fertility ensures higher chances of success and healthy outcomes for couples undergoing infertility treatments. Pre-genetic tests (PGT), such as PGT-A, PGT-SR, and PGT-M, test the embryos for genetic abnormality before transplantation to the uterus. Genetic conditions in family, age, and other causes may predispose some couples to having babies with chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down’s syndrome. PGT tests not only assure higher chances of success for infertility treatments but also ensure healthy embryos. The Endometrial receptive array is yet another such test to achieve a higher success rate of fertility treatments. In ERA the uterus lining of the mother-to-be is first examined microscopically to ensure that it is prepared well to receive the embryo, thereby increasing chances of successful implantation. A long list of advanced infertility treatments such as In-vitro fertilization (IVF), In-vitro Maturation (IVM), and Fertility preservation options for couples/individuals who want to delay pregnancy is provided by 9M. What is miraculous is that men who had azoospermia, and were not able to ejaculate sperms effectively due to some underlying problem, have been able to conceive with their own gametes at 9M Fertility. In usual cases, donor sperms are used in such scenarios, but by the availability of advanced tests such as TESA, M TESE at 9M Fertility sperms can be retrieved from fathers-to-be, adding much to the joy of couples.

Dr. Sreevani Kotha, Director and Head of 9M Fertility, emphasizes the importance of personalized care and guidance provided to each couple throughout their infertility journey. “Each case of infertility is unique,” says Dr Kotha, “and our expert team at 9M Fertility is dedicated to helping couples understand and tackle infertility with the best available options tailored to their needs.”

As infertility rates continue to rise in India and globally, 9M Fertility is poised for expansion to meet the growing demand for specialized infertility care. Dr Durga Prasad, Senior Paediatrician and Cluster Medical Director at Ankura Hospital announces plans for new 9M Fertility centres in Bhubaneswar, Nashik, Vijayawada, Khammam, Tirupati, and additional locations in Hyderabad and Pune and thereby will take the tally up to 11 centres from just 2 centres presently- one each in Hyderabad and Pune.

“Ankura Hospital is trusted by thousands of families for women and child healthcare,” says Dr Prasad, “and we are excited to extend our trusted and predictable solutions for infertility through 9M Fertility to more communities.”

With its unwavering commitment to building families, nurturing dreams, and bringing hope to those in search of the greatest gift of all – the gift of life, 9M Fertility continues to redefine the landscape of assisted reproduction.
