Paediatrics (Ped)
Paediatrics is one of the chief medical specialities that deals with diagnosing and treating health conditions related to infants, children, and adolescents. Paediatricians are experts in preventing, diagnosing, and treating various health conditions that affect children in younger age groups.
Treating children with health conditions demands the utmost care, empathy, compassion, and unparalleled medical expertise. In many families, children form the backbone of a family structure and are a lifeline to their parents. It is not unusual for parents to get worried and feel anxious for the well-being of their child, and the job of a paediatrician is not just treating the child but also assuring their families.
