Pediatrics is a medical specialty that monitors the physical, mental, and social development of children from the neonatal period through adolescence, and diagnoses, treats, and follows up on childhood diseases.
Core services include routine child check-ups, vaccinations, growth and development assessments, and treatment of infectious diseases.
Pediatrics also comprehensively manages conditions such as asthma, allergies, nutritional issues, and chronic childhood illnesses. The primary goal is to prioritize preventive healthcare and contribute to the development of healthy generations.
