Paediatrics

Pediatrics is a branch of medicine focused on the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents up to 18 years of age. It encompasses a wide range of services, including preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment of illnesses, and developmental monitoring. Pediatricians are specially trained to understand the unique physical, emotional, and social needs of younger patients. They also guide families on nutrition, safety, and wellness, ensuring a healthy growth and development trajectory. The goal of pediatrics is to support children's health and well-being from infancy through adolescence.
