Dr. Prashanth Srihari Bhat

Dr. Prashanth Srihari Bhat is a UK board-certified Consultant Neonatologist with over 15 years of experience caring for newborns, particularly the most vulnerable premature infants. He trained in India before completing specialist pediatric and neonatal medicine training in London and Cambridge, earning his UK Certificate of Completion of Training in 2015. At King's College Hospital London in Dubai, he combines clinical care with teaching—he is an adjunct clinical associate professor at Gulf Medical University and a certified Newborn Life Support instructor.

Dr. Bhat's expertise spans neonatal intensive care, respiratory support for newborns (including high-flow oxygen, CPAP, and ventilation), and congenital heart defects. He has managed extremely premature infants from 23 weeks gestation and specializes in caring for babies with birth-related brain injury, jaundice, reflux, and surgical conditions. He runs the heart murmur clinic for babies and young children at King's College Hospital and regularly performs heart ultrasounds (echocardiograms). He has published research in peer-reviewed journals and collaborates closely with pediatric cardiologists and cardiac surgeons at Al Jalila Children's Hospital.

Dr. Bhat is a good fit if your newborn needs intensive care, has a heart murmur or congenital heart defect, requires advanced respiratory support, or needs follow-up after complications from prematurity. His combined expertise in neonatal medicine and pediatric cardiology makes him well-suited to complex cases involving the heart and lungs.
