Pediatrics

Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of patients from a younger age group such as infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatricians are the primary care physicians for children who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of children-related diseases and medical conditions.

Child health is always a delicate matter, as children require special care from the beginning to strengthen their immune system and develop resistance against common diseases. This necessitates constant supervision under certified doctors to ensure the correct treatment is given.
