Child health care built on a structured protocol

Paediatric care follows the Kids & Teens Medical Group protocol, covering newborn review after delivery, ongoing growth and development tracking, and the full childhood vaccination schedule. Neonatal support is available at delivery when a newborn needs extra attention in the first minutes of life.

Acute childhood illness (fever, breathing difficulty, dehydration and similar concerns) is seen at any hour, without needing to wait for a scheduled clinic. For newborns, a home visit option is available where a visit to the hospital is not the easiest first step.
