Paediatrics & Neonatal Department

The Pediatrics and Neonatal Department is a medical specialty that focuses on the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents, as well as the care of newborn infants. The primary goal of this department is to provide comprehensive medical care to children from birth to adolescence, which includes diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various illnesses and disorders.

The neonatal aspect of this department specifically focuses on the care of newborn infants, particularly those who are born prematurely or with medical conditions that require specialised care. Neonatal doctors and nurses work closely with families to ensure the health and well-being of their newborns, providing monitoring and treatment for a variety of conditions, including respiratory distress, jaundice, and infections.

Paediatricians and neonatologists also play a crucial role in preventative care, such as administering vaccinations, conducting routine check-ups, and promoting healthy lifestyles. They also provide guidance to parents and families on issues such as nutrition, safety, and child development.
