Pediatrics

A specialist in pediatric diseases (pediatrician) treats illnesses in patients ranging from newborns to teenagers. The most common reasons include respiratory infections, ear infections, allergy assessments, developmental follow-up, and treatment of chronic diseases.

A pediatrician is trained to recognize the special features of children's stages of development and how disease symptoms differ from those in adults. Childhood asthma, diabetes, and neurological disorders require special expertise and long-term follow-up.

In public healthcare, children's health checkups are carried out at child health clinics. Families often seek a private pediatrician when parents want a faster assessment or specialized expertise.
