What this department does
Paediatricians look after children from birth to adolescence — illnesses, growth and development, and vaccination advice. Children are not small adults: medicines and doses are worked out for their age and weight.
People often come to us for
- Fever, cough and cold
- Diarrhoea and vomiting
- Newborn check-ups
- Growth and nutrition concerns
- Vaccination advice
- Asthma and allergies
This list is general information, not a diagnosis. If you are unsure, book General Medicine or call the front desk.
Services

Doctors
Doctor profiles for this department are being added. You can still book — choose “Any available doctor” and the front desk will assign the right consultant.
Questions
When is a child's fever an emergency?
Come immediately if a baby under 3 months has fever, or if any child is very drowsy, has a fit, difficulty breathing, a rash that does not fade on pressing, or is not drinking.
