He is currently practising as a Consultant – Paediatrics and Neonatology at Manipal Hospital Hebbal, Bangalore, bringing over 8 years of clinical experience in paediatrics and specialised neonatal medicine, with advanced expertise in the care of premature and critically ill newborns requiring intensive monitoring and life-saving interventions. Dr. Anil completed his MBBS followed by an MD in Paediatrics, where he secured a university rank for academic performance. His commitment to newborn medicine led him to pursue DM in Neonatology, during which he achieved first rank in the university and received a gold medal for academic excellence.

  • His clinical work focuses on neonatal intensive care, particularly the management of premature and extremely low birth weight infants. Dr. Anil is trained in advanced neonatal procedures, including mechanical ventilation, therapeutic hypothermia for birth asphyxia, surfactant therapy, and neonatal resuscitation during high-risk deliveries. His expertise in neonatal critical care has established him as the best paediatrician in Hebbal for the management of fragile newborns requiring specialised care in a NICU setting.

  • Another important aspect of his practice involves respiratory and circulatory stabilisation of critically ill newborns. He is skilled in procedures such as intubation, umbilical catheter placement, PICC line insertion, exchange transfusion, and administration of inhaled nitric oxide for pulmonary hypertension. His clinical training also includes the use of point-of-care ultrasound to guide diagnosis and monitoring in critically ill newborns.

  • In addition to emergency neonatal care, he actively participates in the long-term follow-up of babies discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit. Dr. Anil emphasises careful developmental follow-up, ensuring early identification of potential complications and timely intervention when required. His experience in neonatal follow-up clinics and outpatient paediatric care further strengthens his role among the best paediatricians in Hebbal for families seeking specialised newborn care and long-term developmental monitoring.

  • Dr. Anil is also actively engaged in academic research in neonatology. His research includes work on human milk microbiota, neonatal infections, probiotic therapy in preterm infants, and predictive scoring systems used in neonatal intensive care. Several of his studies have been published in journals such as the Journal of Neonatology, Cureus, Indian Journal of Pediatrics, and International Journal of Contemporary Paediatrics. His publications explore topics including early initiation of breastfeeding, microbial adaptations in human milk, and clinical predictors of outcomes in critically ill preterm infants.

  • Dr. Anil communicates fluently in English, Kannada, and Hindi, allowing him to guide families through complex neonatal care decisions with clarity and reassurance. At Manipal Hospital Hebbal, he continues to provide comprehensive neonatal intensive care and follow-up services for newborns requiring specialised medical attention.
