Pediatric Department

The Pediatric Department is a medical department within Anderson’s Hospital that specializes in the care of infants, children and adolescents. Pediatric medicine focuses on the unique healthcare needs of younger patients, from newborns to teenagers.

Pediatricians are medical doctors who are trained to diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of medical conditions and diseases that affect children. They provide comprehensive medical care, including:

1. Well-child check-ups: Regular check-ups to monitor a child's growth and development.

2. Vaccinations: Administering immunizations to protect children from preventable diseases.

3. Treatment of common childhood illnesses: Addressing issues like colds, flu, ear infections and more.

4. Management of chronic conditions: Such as asthma, diabetes and allergies.

5. Developmental assessments: Evaluating a child's physical, mental and emotional development.

6. Behavioral and mental health care: Addressing behavioral and emotional concerns in children and adolescents.

7. Specialized pediatric care: Collaborating with pediatric subspecialists for more complex conditions, such as pediatric cardiology, pediatric neurology, pediatric gastroenterology and more.

The Pediatrics Department typically provides a child-friendly and comforting environment to help children feel at ease during their medical visits or hospital stays. Pediatricians and pediatric nurses are specially trained to communicate with children and their parents or guardians to ensure the best possible care.
