A Paediatrician provides preventative healthcare and maintenance for healthy children. They provide medical care for children with acute and chronic medical conditions. Their management includes physical, mental and emotional well-being of the little ones and provides emotional support to their parents.

Visits with your paediatrician should begin as soon as your child is born. This allows you to become familiar with your child’s doctor, and also allows your child’s health to be monitored from an early age.

Your child shouldn’t see a paediatrician when they are sick only. It is important that your child see a paediatrician regularly for well-child-care exams.

Some medical aids do require a referral letter from a GP, however, please ensure to familiarize yourself with your current medical aid benefits and fine print.
