Child Health and Diseases (Paediatrics)
Paediatrics: The Science of Children's Healing
Our children are our most valuable resource. Paediatrics department examines diseases from birth to the end of adolescence. It arises from the fact that children's bodies are different from adults' in many ways. Many diseases in children follow a very different course compared to adults. Methods such as drug therapy should be specific to children. In cases of problems such as infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, accidents, and injuries, a doctor who specializes in paediatrics should be consulted.
