Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents, from birth up to 18 years of age. Pediatricians are trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of acute and chronic illnesses specific to children, while also monitoring their growth, development, and overall well-being.
This specialty encompasses preventive care such as vaccinations, nutritional guidance, and health education, as well as the management of conditions affecting various body systems. Pediatrics plays a crucial role in ensuring that children grow up healthy, thrive physically and mentally, and receive timely medical interventions for optimal lifelong health.
