Dr. Shanmugappriya Vijayarajan

Dr. Shanmugappriya Vijayarajan is an anaesthetist at Mediclinic Welcare Hospital with over 15 years of clinical experience. She completed her basic training in anaesthesia and critical care in India from 2005 to 2010, then pursued further training in the UK and Ireland, obtaining her MRCA (UK) and FCAI (Ireland) qualifications. Before joining Mediclinic Welcare, she worked at the sister facility Mediclinic City Hospital.

Dr. Vijayarajan has broad expertise across several anaesthesia areas. She is particularly skilled in paediatric anaesthesia (putting children to sleep safely for surgery), regional anaesthesia techniques (injecting pain relief around specific nerves), and obstetric anaesthesia for women during childbirth and surgery. She is competent in administering labour epidurals to provide pain-free normal delivery, and has extensive experience managing difficult airway patients. Her approach combines perioperative pain management with specialized techniques for pain relief both during and after procedures.

She is a good fit for patients needing specialized anaesthesia care, whether for children's surgery, complex regional techniques, or pregnancy-related procedures.
