Paediatrics
Pediatrics is a medical specialty that focuses on the medical care of infants, children and adolescents. Pediatricians diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of illnesses and conditions that affect children, from minor injuries and infections to chronic illnesses and developmental disorders.
Pediatricians provide a range of medical services to children, including routine checkups, vaccinations, and treatment for acute illnesses like colds and flu. Pediatricians work closely with families to monitor the growth and development of children and to provide guidance on issues such as nutrition, exercise, and safety. Pediatricians diagnose and treat chronic illnesses and developmental disorders, such as asthma, diabetes, autism, and ADHD.
