“Baby didn’t even cry during the injection—he was busy laughing at the nursery rhyme!” That’s not a miracle. That’s Ahmedabad Paediatrician Dr. Imran Patel.
In a world where even a mild fever can send parents spiraling into panic, one doctor from Ahmedabad is bringing joy, music, and unmatched care to children’s healthcare—one humming rhyme at a time.
Dr. Imran S. Patel, Co-Director of Asian Children Hospital in Vastral, isn’t just one of India’s top paediatricians—he’s a pioneer in modern neonatology, an innovator in pain-free vaccinations, and a global medical influencer with over 6 million YouTube subscribers.

Paediatrician and Neonatologist Dr. Imran Patel: Early Life and Qualification
Born into a humble family in Gujarat, Dr. Patel didn’t just dream of becoming a doctor (initially orthopedic surgeon)—he dreamed of becoming a safe space for children in pain. After earning his MBBS and completing MD in Paediatrics, he further trained in neonatology and pediatric intensive care, developing a deep fascination with minimizing procedural distress in infants. Although Dr Imran Patel wanted to become an orthopedic surgeon, he somehow found solace in child care.
That curiosity bloomed into a full-blown calling: to make healthcare both clinically excellent and emotionally comforting.
In 2018, Dr. Patel laid the foundation for Asian Children Hospital—a 50-bed, Level III(A) Certified Pediatric Super Speciality Hospital in Vastral, Ahmedabad. Today, the hospital stands as a regional referral centre for complex neonatal and pediatric cases, equipped with NICU, PICU, emergency care, immunisation, and surgical units.
But ask him what defines the hospital and he’ll say—“It’s not the number of beds. It’s how many smiles we create.” And with his trademark approach to painless vaccinations, those smiles are real.

Beyond the Screen: Real Impact, Real Lives
