What is Paediatrics & Neonatology?

Paediatrics & Neonatology are specialized medical fields dedicated to newborns, infants, children, and adolescents.

  • Paediatrics: Focuses on overall child health, growth, development, disease prevention, and treatment. Paediatricians monitor physical, emotional, and cognitive milestones while managing acute and chronic conditions.
  • Neonatology: A super-specialty dealing with newborns, especially premature or critically ill babies. Neonatologists manage NICU care, breathing support, infections, feeding issues, and birth-related complications.

Together, these specialties ensure continuity of care—from the first breath to teenage years.

  • Common Childhood Illnesses: Fever, cough, cold, diarrhea, vomiting, and viral or bacterial infections treated with evidence-based protocols.
  • Growth & Developmental Concerns: Delayed milestones, poor weight gain, speech delay, and learning difficulties are identified early.
  • Chronic Paediatric Conditions: Asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, congenital heart disease, and allergies require long-term, structured care.
  • Nutrition & Immunity Issues: Malnutrition, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, and immunity-related problems are addressed through personalized plans.
