Paediatrics

Nothing is more rewarding in this world than watching your children develop into the finest people they can be.

Why is Childhood Health important?

Because early childhood development has been shown to have a direct positive impact on a child’s long-term health outcomes as well as improve future opportunities to become healthy and productive adults, our team of paediatricians collaborates with parents early on to ensure children’s well-being.

Children have distinctive medical needs that evolve as they become older. In meeting those ever-changing needs and helping to ensure that our young patients thrive as they grow, our team of skilled paediatric and general health professionals offer dedicated expert care to support the broad scope of children’s health and developmental milestones. Raffles Medical offers holistic medical treatment in a safe environment that is dedicated to delivering comfort and peace of mind to families.

The following procedures are commonly performed by our highly skilled paediatricians:

Assessing the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social development of a child
Immunisation of children to prevent diseases and boost immunity
Identifying and treating a variety of medical issues from common illnesses and infections through to chronic conditions and injuries.
Recommending and working with other team-based specialists to treat minor injuries from fractures and dislocations to providing paediatric emergency care.
Counselling for creating the most conducive environment at home for a child’s development and well-being
Giving important tips pertaining to nutrition, hygiene, and healthy habits

Early Intervention

It’s natural to be concerned about your child’s growth if you perceive them lacking in any skill as you watch them grow every day and compare them to their friends. While keeping track of their development is crucial, we remind parents that each child develops at their own speed and has distinct skills and abilities. You’ll need the advice of a qualified paediatrician to distinguish between typical and abnormal delays.

Timely intervention by paediatricians allows them to screen for and diagnose diseases in order to prevent or delay ensuing problems, thereby improving the quality of children’s lives by ensuring that they have the opportunity to study and grow to their full potential as healthy adults.

Access to the Right Information

Paediatricians have never been more vital in a society where false information is merely a mouse click away. More than 72% of internet users search for medical information online, according to research. This is a problematic practice as anyone can post content online. So, it gets very stressful for parents, already worried about their children, to further discern the right information from false content. This is why it is incredibly important that paediatricians explain and provide accurate information to parents.

Children Need Happy and Well-Informed Parents

Parenthood is a blessing. Nonetheless, raising children can be overwhelming, especially without the guidance of someone who is both qualified and skilled. Any type of stress that parents experience has an impact on their children. It makes even more sense to alleviate fears, reduce anxiety, and get peace of mind by partnering with a paediatrician.

At Raffles Medical, we understand the importance of children’s health, which is why we use a holistic approach to enable parents to care for their children and promote their well-being with the aid of well-trained and compassionate paediatricians.
