A little about the doctor

From newborn intensive care to your family's clinic

Dr. Bilal Ahmad Sethi is a Consultant Neonatologist and Paediatrician, and a Professor of Paediatrics and Neonatology at the North West School of Medicine. He qualified with an MBBS from Khyber Medical College, then trained and practised for fifteen years in Ireland, earning the MRCP (UK) from the Royal College of Physicians, London, and the Diploma in Child Health from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

During those years he cared for some of the most fragile patients in medicine, premature and critically ill newborns, as a Consultant and Registrar in Neonatology and Perinatal Medicine at the Waterford Regional Neonatal Centre and as a Consultant Paediatrician at Wexford General Hospital. He has since brought that expertise home to Peshawar, so families here can access the same careful, evidence-based standard of care.

Professional philosophy

“Treat the family, not just the fever.”

Dr. Sethi believes the best paediatric care begins with listening. Parents know their child better than anyone, and a good consultation should leave a family feeling clearer, calmer and more confident, with every diagnosis explained in plain language and every child made to feel safe.
