Paediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18. Our Paediatric clinic in The Limi Hospital is  run by seasoned and qualified Consultant Paediatricians and paediatric care staff

 

Our Paediatric Clinic is dedicated to the management of the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the children under their care at every stage of development, in both sickness and health.

 

The aims of our Paediatrics is to reduce infant and child rate of deaths, control the spread of infectious disease, promote healthy lifestyles for a long disease-free life and help ease the problems of children and adolescents with chronic conditions.

 

Paediatricians diagnose and treat several conditions among children including:-

• injuries

• infections

• genetic and congenital conditions

• cancers

• organ diseases and dysfunctions

 

Paediatrics is different from adult medicine in more ways than one. The smaller body of an infant or neonate or a child is substantially different physiologically from that of an adult. So treating children is not like treating a miniature adult.

 

Congenital defects, genetic variance, and developmental issues are of greater concern to pediatricians than physicians treating adults.
