What Post Graduate Institute of Child Health does

Post Graduate Institute of Child Health (PGICH), Noida is an autonomous state-government tertiary care pediatric institute under the Government of Uttar Pradesh, formerly known as Super Specialty Paediatric Hospital and Postgraduate Teaching Institute (SSPHPGTI). It provides specialized medical and surgical care exclusively to children aged 0-18 years, organized across 16 clinical and basic disciplines including neonatology, pediatric cardiac surgery, hematology-oncology, bone marrow transplantation, gastroenterology, neurology, medical genetics, orthopedics, urology, and plastic surgery. Supporting infrastructure includes ten modular operation theatres (three with live broadcast and telemedicine integration), a 20-bed Level III NICU, an 8-bed pediatric BMT centre, and 24x7 diagnostic laboratories in biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, and radiology.

The institute integrates clinical care with postgraduate teaching (100+ MD/MS, DM, M.Ch residents and Ph.D scholars trained annually across accredited FNB, IAP, and NNF fellowship programs) and research across stem cell biology, cytogenetics, tissue engineering, bioinformatics, and artificial intelligence. Diagnostic technology spans karyotyping, PCR/Sanger sequencing, MLPA, cytogenetic microarray, and next-generation sequencing (whole exome/clinical exome) for rare disease diagnosis. The revenue model is government-funded: patient charges are nominal (OPD card Rs 100 for six months, IPD bed Rs 250/day), with the bulk of operating support flowing from the UP state budget, Ayushman Bharat, Rashtriya Bal Suraksha Karyakaram (RBSK), National Health Mission (NHM) hemophilia/thalassemia treatment funding, and PM/CM relief funds.

PGICH is the first dedicated pediatric super-specialty institute in western Uttar Pradesh and serves as a tertiary referral centre for UP, Delhi NCR, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, J&K, and North-East India. It was officially established in December 2015, became operationally ramped through subsequent department launches, and was designated a Thalassaemia International Federation (TIF) Collaborating Centre in 2026. As of the latest disclosures, the institute operates 4,500+ registered hemophilia patients, 200+ thalassemia patients, and 100-120 new childhood cancer diagnoses annually, and is planning additional centres for pediatric cancer, renal and liver transplantation, skill development, and hypospadias/DSD care.
