Dr. Neethu Rajeev is an Associate Consultant Neonatologist and Pediatrician with an exceptional academic and clinical background from India’s top tier medical institutions.

With specialized training in Tertiary level Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), she is highly skilled in advanced life support technologies, including high-frequency ventilation, inhaled nitric oxide therapy and therapeutic hypothermia for neuroprotection. Beyond acute clinical management, she is deeply committed to Developmentally Supportive Care, ensuring that the most vulnerable infants not only survive but thrive through meticulous post discharge follow up and lactational counseling.
