DEPARTMENT OF PAEDIATRICS

A pediatric department in a hospital provides medical care and preventive health services for children. Pediatricians in the department assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of illnesses, injuries, and conditions.

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.

A Pediatric Ward is a specialized hospital unit where pediatric patients receive medical care from healthcare professionals trained in treating children and adolescents.
