About the doctor
The paediatrician cares for the health, growth and treatment of children from birth to the end of adolescence. Monitoring growth and development, vaccination, nutrition and the treatment of common childhood illnesses are at the heart of this specialty.
Respiratory and digestive infections, fever, allergy and childhood diseases are diagnosed and treated here, and when necessary the child is referred to the relevant sub-specialist. Supporting the family and teaching proper child care are an important part of this service.
