Dedicated to the prevention, identification and management of physical issues in newborns, kids and teenagers, paediatricians treat a variety of childhood ailments from fevers, respiratory infections to long-term ailments like epilepsy, diabetes and asthma.

Additionally, paediatricians offer vital preventive services like growth monitoring, nutrition counselling and vaccinations. While the main focus of general paediatrics is physical health, specialised care like emotional and behavioural issues are referred to child psychiatrists or paediatric psychologists.
