Paediatrics

Paediatrics is a much specialised branch of the medical world which specifically caters to the problems related to children. It is related to the various influences that impact the growth of a child such as biological, social and environmental. These influences can also have a substantial effect of the development of the child along with the impact of diseases and other dysfunctions.

A paediatrician is a medical specialist who is an expert when it comes to the health problems of a child and defines the status. These are consultants who ensure the complete and holistic welfare of the child alone as well as in assistance with other doctors and specialists. It is understood that the welfare of the child is in the hands of the family and the home, however, a paediatrician can be considered as an extension to the whole arrangement providing professional touch to the already existing nurturing environment for the child to grow. Such support includes education about healthy living and anticipatory guidance for both patients and parents.
