Pediatric Care

Pediatric care refers to the branch of medicine that involves the health and medical treatment of infants, children, and adolescents, typically up to the age of 18. This specialized field focuses on the physical, emotional, and social health of young patients, addressing a range of medical issues from routine check-ups and vaccinations to the management of chronic conditions and acute illnesses. Pediatric care encompasses preventive health measures, early diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, as well as guidance on development, nutrition, and mental health. Pediatric healthcare providers, such as pediatricians and pediatric specialists, are trained to consider the unique physiological and developmental needs of children, providing age-appropriate care that supports their growth and well-being.
