Department of Paediatrics
Overview
Pediatrics is a core clinical medical subject that trains students to diagnose, manage, and prevent illnesses in infants, children, and adolescents. It focuses entirely on a rapidly growing population, where physiological responses, drug dosages, and disease presentations differ drastically from adults. Because childhood health shapes lifelong well-being, mastering pediatrics is mandatory for all medical graduates to ensure they can manage acute pediatric emergencies, track developmental milestones, and implement vital immunization schedules.
