Child Health and Diseases Department Diagnosis and Treatment Services
In the Child Health and Diseases (Pediatrics) department, diagnosis and treatment of various diseases from the newborn period to adulthood are provided by our expert doctors. Healthy Child Follow-up requires examination and check-ups during the first and second weeks of the newborn's life. Afterward, it is essential to bring the baby to the doctor once a month during the first six months of life. Additionally, to ensure that the developmental processes are progressing normally both physically and mentally between 1-2 years old, it is important to continue with checks every three months. Afterward, for children over 2 years old, a check-up every six months will be sufficient.
In general, the greatest benefit of these follow-ups can be summarized as the early detection of any problems by closely monitoring the child's developmental processes. Additionally, while providing Preventive Health Services with advanced medical devices and biochemical tests, outpatient and inpatient treatment services are also offered to sick children.
