PEADIATRICS MEDICINE
“Grooming Healthy Generations”
“Paediatrics” means “Healer of children”; derived from two Greek words: (pais = child) and (iatros = doctor or healer).
A paediatrician is a child’s physician who provides not only medical care for children who are acutely or chronically ill but also preventive health services for immune life. A paediatrician manages physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the children under their care at every stage of development, in both sickness and health. We provide initial diagnoses, second opinions, allergic and immunologic testing, as well as expert medical care.

The objective of paediatrics is to reduce infant and child rate of deaths, control the spread of infectious disease, promote healthy lifestyles for a long disease-free life and help ease the problems of children and adolescents with chronic conditions.
Paediatrics is concerned about immediate management of the ill child as well as long term effects on quality of life, disability and survival. Paediatricians are involved with the prevention, early detection, and management of problems including:-
- Infections
- Genetic & Congenital Conditions
- Developmental Delays & Disorders
- Behavioral problems
- Functional Disabilities
- Social Stresses
- Mental Disorders including Depression & Anxiety Disorders
Paediatrics is different from adult medicine in more ways than one. The smaller body of an infant or neonate or a child is substantially different physiologically from that of an adult. So treating children is not like treating a miniature adult.
Paediatrics is a collaborative specialty. Paediatricians need to work closely with other medical specialists and healthcare professionals and subspecialists of paediatrics to help children with problems.
Congenital defects, genetic variance, and developmental issues are of greater concern to pediatricians than physicians treating adults. In addition, there are several legal issues in paediatrics. Children are minors and, in most jurisdictions, cannot make decisions for themselves. The issues of guardianship, privacy, legal responsibility and informed consent should be considered in every pediatric procedure.
Pediatricians focus on the physical, emotional, and social health of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults up to age 16. Because they work with so many aspects of children’s health, they’re highly trained in assessing, detecting, preventing, and managing issues that affect children
