Pediatrician in Minsk

Pediatry is a medical section dedicated to children's diseases, as well as the rules of care for both healthy and sick children of any age. The child's body is absolutely different from the adults, it is characterized by immaturity and increased vulnerability to a variety of pathologies that are peculiar to children. Therefore, there is a separate category of specialists – children’s doctors. In Minsk, they see patients in clinics, hospitals and medical centers.

Who is a pediatrician and what does he do?

Children's Pediatrics is a versatile field of medicine that includes the physical, mental and nervous development of a child. Pediatrician is the most important specialty, because the future of the little man depends on the knowledge and qualifications of the doctor.

That’s interesting! Pediatrics was recognized as a separate medical industry in the middle of the 19^th century, when the first hospital for children was opened in Paris and they were able to justify the version about the specifics of children's dysfunctions.

Pediatrician:

• examines infants from the first day of life;
• assesses the baby 's condition;
• gives recommendations to parents on Pediatrics – on the daily routine , rules of care and nutrition of crumbs ( basics of Pediatrics and hygiene);
• carries out therapeutic and preventive activities.

The physician studies the healthy and pathological functioning of a child's body , the ways of development of childhood pathologies and their causes, and develops diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic ways to combat painful abnormalities.
