The Department of Paediatric Emergency Medicine at Manipal Hospital is dedicated to building a proactive and informed care ecosystem for children through its flagship initiative, HUE (Handling Unexpected Urgencies & Emergencies in Children). By combining expert-led paediatric emergency care with simulation-based training and community education, the department empowers parents, caregivers, and teachers to recognise early warning signs and respond confidently to emergencies. With advanced infrastructure, a child-centric approach, and a strong focus on awareness and preparedness, Manipal Hospital ensures timely intervention and better outcomes for every child.
HUE is a simulation-based workshop thoughtfully designed for parents, caregivers, and teachers to equip them with the skills and confidence needed to recognise and respond effectively to medical urgencies and emergencies in children.
