What is Paediatrics

Paediatricians are physicians that specialize in disorders that affect babies, children and teens.

It is often believed that children speak a language of their own, one that adults sometimes have difficulty comprehending. The younger the child, the less they are able to communicate, leaving us to attempt to interpret their crying or fretting. Patient, gentle and trained to recognise distress in their young patients, our paediatric team sees beyond a child’s physical pain, offering solace to both children and anxious parents.

  • Injuries
