Children should see a paediatrician for regular age-appropriate check-ups, as well as whenever symptoms of illness appear. Routine check-ups include measuring weight, height, and head and chest circumference, examining the organs and body systems, detecting any deviations in growth, development or health early, and issuing medical documents when needed.

It depends on your child’s age. Newborns and infants are seen more often (monthly), and older children every 6 to 12 months. The paediatrician will recommend an individual schedule. Check-ups include specific tests, such as screening for metabolic, endocrine and genetic conditions.

A paediatrician is a doctor specialising in paediatrics, who diagnoses, treats and prevents illness in children, with in-depth knowledge of child development and childhood conditions. A GP (general practitioner) treats patients of all ages.

The most common childhood illnesses include respiratory infections, ear infections, gastroenteritis, allergies and skin conditions. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and may include medication, rest and follow-up. Our paediatricians treat all common childhood illnesses.
