About Dr C. P. Ravi Kumar
Paediatric Neurologist | Caring for Children with Brain and Development Concerns
I am a Paediatric Neurologist with over 20 years of experience caring for children with brain, nerve, and developmental problems. I help parents understand what is happening with their child and guide them step by step through treatment and long-term care.
I currently work as Lead and Senior Consultant – Paediatric Neurosciences at KRISHNA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (KIMS Hospital), Bengaluru.
How I Help
Parents usually come to me feeling worried, confused, or tired after seeing many doctors. My role is to bring clarity and a clear plan.
I help by:
- Listening carefully to parents’ concerns
- Explaining the child’s condition in simple language
- Discussing treatment options honestly
- Planning care that suits the child and family
I commonly treat children with:
- Epilepsy and seizures
- Developmental delay and autism
- Learning and behaviour difficulties
- Genetic and metabolic conditions affecting the brain
- Headaches and other neurological problems
My Training and Experience
I completed my paediatric and neurology training in the United Kingdom. I am certified in paediatrics (UK) and received special training in childhood epilepsy and paediatric neurology in London. I also trained in EEG interpretation in the United States.
Before returning to India, I worked in well-known children’s hospitals in the UK, caring for children with complex neurological conditions.
From 2017 to 2025, in my previous tenure, I helped build a complete child neurology and development service in Bengaluru, where doctors, therapists, psychologists, and dieticians worked together under one roof.
Care Beyond the Hospital
In 2021, I started Brain Child Trust, a non-profit organisation that supports children with neurological and developmental disabilities, especially families who need extra help. Through this work, I focus on:
- Parent education
- Access to therapy services
- Community awareness and support
