View ProfileWhat to Expect
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a warm, unhurried consultation with Dr. Mudasir. We take a detailed history of your child's condition – whether it is a swelling, pain, birth defect, or injury. We listen carefully to your concerns as parents, answer all your questions, and explain everything in simple, reassuring language that even young children can understand.
2. Diagnosis
We use child-friendly diagnostic tools available on-site at Ibn Sina Hospital, including ultrasound, X-ray, and when needed, CT or MRI scans. Our radiologists are experienced in working with children, ensuring a calm and comfortable experience. Accurate diagnosis is essential for planning the right surgical approach.
3. Surgery
Your child's surgery is performed in our state-of-the-art operation theatre by Dr. Mudasir himself, with a dedicated pediatric anaesthesia team ensuring maximum safety. We use modern, minimally invasive techniques wherever possible – smaller incisions mean less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring. For complex congenital conditions, we use advanced surgical techniques tailored to your child's age and size.
4. Recovery & Follow-up
After surgery, your child is cared for in our comfortable, child-friendly recovery wards. Our nursing team is specially trained in pediatric care, ensuring your little one feels safe and loved. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing, remove stitches, and check long-term outcomes. We are always available to address any concerns between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I book a consultation with Dr. Mudasir for my child?
You can book an appointment by calling our hospital reception, visiting us in person, or using our online appointment system. Our friendly staff will help you schedule a convenient time. Please bring any previous medical records or test reports.
Is my child too young for surgery? At what age can you operate?
We perform surgery on children of all ages – from newborns to teenagers. The timing of surgery depends on your child's condition, weight, and overall health. Dr. Mudasir will discuss the best timing for your child's specific situation during the consultation.
What is the recovery time for common pediatric surgeries like hernia or appendicitis?
For minimally invasive (laparoscopic) procedures, most children go home within 1-2 days and return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. For more complex surgeries, recovery may take longer. Your surgeon will give you specific guidance based on your child's procedure.
Does health insurance cover pediatric surgery?
We accept most major health insurance policies and offer cashless treatment for eligible patients. Most pediatric surgical procedures – including congenital defect corrections, emergency surgeries, and trauma care – are typically covered. Our billing team will assist you with all necessary paperwork. Please bring your insurance card and valid ID at the time of admission.
What should I do if my child has a surgical emergency – like severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or injury – after hours?
Ibn Sina Hospital has a 24/7 emergency department with a pediatric surgeon on call at all times. If your child experiences severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, fever, or any trauma, do not wait – come directly to the hospital or call our emergency helpline immediately. Prompt surgical care can make all the difference for your child.
