    Overview

  • Dr. Srikanta J T is a highly skilled paediatric pulmonologist in Kanakapura Road. He is currently practising as the Consultant – Paediatric Interventional Pulmonology, Allergy and Sleep Medicine at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, Bangalore, bringing 19 years of expertise in paediatric pulmonology, interventional airway procedures, paediatric sleep medicine, allergy management, and critical respiratory care for infants, children, and adolescents. Through advanced national and international training and his deep clinical insight into complex respiratory and sleep disorders, Dr. Srikanta has earned a strong reputation as one of the best paediatric pulmonologists in Kanakapura Road.

  • Dr. Srikanta’s academic journey reflects a consistent pursuit of excellence. After completing his MBBS, he pursued a Diploma in Child Health (DCH) and later a DNB in Paediatrics, which laid the foundation for his interest in respiratory sciences. His passion for advancing paediatric pulmonology led him to Singapore, where he completed a Fellowship in Paediatric Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine. He received extensive training in advanced airway imaging, paediatric ventilatory support, lung function assessment, diagnostic bronchoscopy, and the evaluation of complex sleep-related breathing disorders. With further training in Interventional Pulmonology in India and Italy, Dr. Srikanta gained hands-on experience in flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, cryobiopsy, transbronchial interventions, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), pleuroscopy, and a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic airway procedures tailored specifically for children.

  • In clinical practice, Dr. Srikanta is known for his ability to manage a wide spectrum of paediatric respiratory conditions, including asthma, recurrent pneumonia, persistent cough, bronchiectasis, childhood ILDs, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, congenital airway anomalies, aspiration disorders, and allergic respiratory diseases. His expertise extends to neonatal and paediatric intensive care (NICU/PICU), where he manages acute and chronic lung diseases, mechanical ventilation, and post-transplant respiratory care. Parents also seek his guidance for chronic cough, noisy breathing, snoring, sleep apnoea, nocturnal hypoventilation, and sleep disorders in children. Dr. Srikanta’s ability to manage rare and challenging cases, like refractory lipoid pneumonia, congenital lung cysts, autoimmune-related lung disease, and complicated ILDs, has positioned him as a sought-after expert in the region and strengthened his reputation as one of the best paediatric pulmonologists in Kanakapura Road.

  • Dr. Srikanta’s academic contributions are equally noteworthy. His work has been published in leading international and national journals, covering topics like cryobiopsy in paediatric lung disease, functional lung evaluation post–bone marrow transplant, inherited respiratory immunological conditions, advanced bronchoscopic imaging, and paediatric sleep disorder trends. He has presented his research at global forums, including the International Congress on Pediatric Pulmonology, the Singapore Paediatric and Perinatal Congress, and several paediatric pulmonology symposia. He is an esteemed member of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics, the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, the American Heart Association, and the National Resuscitation Council (Singapore).

  • At Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, Dr. Srikanta’s practice is built on the principles of personalised care, multidisciplinary collaboration, and empathetic communication. He works closely with paediatric intensivists, allergists, neonatologists, ENT specialists, immunologists, physiotherapists, and sleep technologists to deliver holistic respiratory and sleep care for children. With an unwavering commitment to the well-being of children, Dr. Srikanta J T is dedicated to transforming paediatric respiratory and sleep health with precision, compassion, and scientific excellence.

  • Overview

  • Dr. Srikanta J T is a highly skilled paediatric pulmonologist in Kanakapura Road. He is currently practising as the Consultant – Paediatric Interventional Pulmonology, Allergy and Sleep Medicine at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, Bangalore, bringing 19 years of expertise in paediatric pulmonology, interventional airway procedures, paediatric sleep medicine, allergy management, and critical respiratory care for infants, children, and adolescents. Through advanced national and international training and his deep clinical insight into complex respiratory and sleep disorders, Dr. Srikanta has earned a strong reputation as one of the best paediatric pulmonologists in Kanakapura Road.

  • Dr. Srikanta’s academic journey reflects a consistent pursuit of excellence. After completing his MBBS, he pursued a Diploma in Child Health (DCH) and later a DNB in Paediatrics, which laid the foundation for his interest in respiratory sciences. His passion for advancing paediatric pulmonology led him to Singapore, where he completed a Fellowship in Paediatric Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine. He received extensive training in advanced airway imaging, paediatric ventilatory support, lung function assessment, diagnostic bronchoscopy, and the evaluation of complex sleep-related breathing disorders. With further training in Interventional Pulmonology in India and Italy, Dr. Srikanta gained hands-on experience in flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, cryobiopsy, transbronchial interventions, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), pleuroscopy, and a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic airway procedures tailored specifically for children.

  • In clinical practice, Dr. Srikanta is known for his ability to manage a wide spectrum of paediatric respiratory conditions, including asthma, recurrent pneumonia, persistent cough, bronchiectasis, childhood ILDs, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, congenital airway anomalies, aspiration disorders, and allergic respiratory diseases. His expertise extends to neonatal and paediatric intensive care (NICU/PICU), where he manages acute and chronic lung diseases, mechanical ventilation, and post-transplant respiratory care. Parents also seek his guidance for chronic cough, noisy breathing, snoring, sleep apnoea, nocturnal hypoventilation, and sleep disorders in children. Dr. Srikanta’s ability to manage rare and challenging cases, like refractory lipoid pneumonia, congenital lung cysts, autoimmune-related lung disease, and complicated ILDs, has positioned him as a sought-after expert in the region and strengthened his reputation as one of the best paediatric pulmonologists in Kanakapura Road.

  • Dr. Srikanta’s academic contributions are equally noteworthy. His work has been published in leading international and national journals, covering topics like cryobiopsy in paediatric lung disease, functional lung evaluation post–bone marrow transplant, inherited respiratory immunological conditions, advanced bronchoscopic imaging, and paediatric sleep disorder trends. He has presented his research at global forums, including the International Congress on Pediatric Pulmonology, the Singapore Paediatric and Perinatal Congress, and several paediatric pulmonology symposia. He is an esteemed member of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics, the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, the American Heart Association, and the National Resuscitation Council (Singapore).

  • At Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, Dr. Srikanta’s practice is built on the principles of personalised care, multidisciplinary collaboration, and empathetic communication. He works closely with paediatric intensivists, allergists, neonatologists, ENT specialists, immunologists, physiotherapists, and sleep technologists to deliver holistic respiratory and sleep care for children. With an unwavering commitment to the well-being of children, Dr. Srikanta J T is dedicated to transforming paediatric respiratory and sleep health with precision, compassion, and scientific excellence.
