Dr. Arti Pawaria

Meet Dr. Arti Pawaria

Dr. Arti Pawaria is a highly specialized and compassionate doctor who focuses entirely on the health of children. She is an expert in treating diseases related to the stomach, intestines, and the liver. Her young patients range from newborn babies to teenagers up to the age of 18.

What makes Dr. Pawaria stand out in the medical world is her unique achievement: she is recognized as India’s first formally trained female doctor specializing in children’s liver diseases (Pediatric Hepatology). This means she has reached the highest level of education possible in this very specific and difficult field.

Currently, Dr. Arti Pawaria serves as a Senior Consultant at Amrita Hospital in Faridabad. She is known for her brilliant clinical mind and her soft, patient-centric approach. She understands that children are not just "small adults"—their bodies work differently, and they require a doctor who understands their unique growth and emotional needs.

Dr. Pawaria believes that every child deserves a healthy start in life. She spends time listening to parents, answering their worries, and ensuring that every family feels supported during their child’s treatment. Her goal is to provide the safest, most advanced medical care to help children recover and lead happy lives.

Education and Advanced Training

A top-tier specialist requires years of rigorous study. Dr. Arti Pawaria began her journey by completing her MBBS in 2009. From the start, she knew she wanted to help children, which led her to pursue an MD in Pediatrics at the famous SMS Medical College in Jaipur, completing it in 2013.

However, Dr. Pawaria wanted to do more for children suffering from complex organ failures. She joined the Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) in Lucknow, where she received specialized training in digestive diseases.

To reach the pinnacle of her field, she moved to the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in New Delhi. In 2018, she earned her DM (Doctorate of Medicine) in Pediatric Hepatology. This makes her one of the very few doctors in India with a formal degree in child liver health. Her education allows her to treat cases that many general pediatricians might find too complicated.

Care for the Developing Digestive System 

The digestive system is the "engine" of a child's body. It processes food, absorbs nutrients, and helps the child grow. When a child has a problem with their food pipe, stomach, or intestines, it can stop them from gaining weight and staying active.

Dr. Arti Pawaria helps children with various digestive issues, such as:

• Chronic Stomach Pain: Finding the hidden cause of persistent tummy aches.
• Acid Reflux (GERD): Helping babies and kids who struggle with frequent vomiting or “spitting up.”
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Managing long-term inflammation in the gut.
• Celiac Disease: Diagnosing and managing gluten allergies.
• Chronic Constipation or Diarrhea: Providing long-term solutions for bowel regularity.

By focusing on nutrition and the right medicine, she ensures that the child’s digestive system gets back on track.

Specialist in Children’s Liver Diseases

The liver is a vital organ that cleans the blood and produces energy. In children, liver problems can develop quickly and become very serious. Dr. Arti Pawaria is a national expert in Pediatric Hepatology.

She provides treatment for:

• Neonatal Jaundice: Helping newborns with prolonged yellowing of the skin.
• Biliary Atresia: A rare condition where the bile ducts are blocked or missing.
• Hepatitis: Treating viral infections that cause liver swelling.
• Wilson’s Disease: A genetic disorder where copper builds up in the liver.
• Fatty Liver in Children: Addressing metabolic issues in overweight children.

Early diagnosis by a specialist like Dr. Pawaria can often prevent permanent liver damage.

Liver Transplant Management

For some children, the liver becomes so damaged that medicine is not enough. In these cases, a Liver Transplant is the only way to save the child’s life.

Dr. Arti Pawaria plays a critical role in the transplant process. Her work involves:

1. Pre-Transplant Evaluation: Checking the child’s body to see if they are ready for surgery.
2. Donor Selection: Helping families understand the process of living-donor transplants.
3. Post-Transplant Care: This is the most important part. She monitors the child daily after surgery to ensure the new liver is working and the body does not reject it.

Her expertise ensures that the "gift of life" results in a long and healthy future for the child.

Advanced Pediatric Endoscopy

To see what is happening inside a child's body without making large cuts, Dr. Pawaria uses a "tiny camera." This is called Endoscopy.

She is highly skilled in:

• Upper GI Endoscopy: Looking at the food pipe and stomach.
• Colonoscopy: Checking the large intestine.
• Foreign Body Removal: If a child accidentally swallows a coin, battery, or toy, Dr. Pawaria can often remove it safely using the endoscope, avoiding the need for open surgery.
• Variceal Banding: A life-saving procedure to stop internal bleeding caused by liver disease.

She performs these tests with great care, ensuring the child is comfortable and pain-free.

Treatment for Chemical Injuries

Toddlers and young children are curious and sometimes accidentally swallow household cleaners, acids, or harmful liquids. These chemicals can cause severe burns in the food pipe (esophagus).

Dr. Arti Pawaria is one of the few specialists who manages these corrosive injuries. She performs "dilatation" procedures, which gently widen the food pipe if it has become narrow due to scarring. This helps the child eat and drink normally again after a traumatic accident.

A Researcher and Award-Winning Doctor

Dr. Pawaria is not only a clinician but also a scientist. She stays at the forefront of medical science by conducting research on liver and gut health. She has presented her findings at major international medical conferences in the USA and Europe.

Because of her dedication to discovery, she has received several prestigious awards:

• Young Investigator Award: For her innovative work in hepatology.
• International Research Award: Recognizing her contribution to global child health.
• Best Research Paper Award: For her studies on complex pediatric diseases.

Her research helps other doctors around the world learn new ways to treat sick children.

Compassionate Care for Families

Dr. Arti Pawaria believes that treating a child means treating the whole family. She knows that parents feel a lot of stress when their child is in the hospital.

Her patients and their families appreciate her because:

• She speaks simply: She avoids hard medical jargon.
• She is patient: She answers every "why" and "how" a parent might have.
• She is encouraging: She helps children feel brave during their tests and procedures.

This friendly approach makes the hospital experience much less scary for the little ones.
