Neonatology & Paediatrics

---

Neonatology and Paediatrics are both medical specialities that are connected with each other which involves taking care of the new born babies. Neonatology is basically a subspecialty of paediatrics that involves medical care for the newly born babies until one month one age. This medical service is especially required if the new born is premature or ill. At KARE, we have all the necessary infrastructure to keep the new born in a perfect health condition. We understand that the treatment and care required for this age group is completely different from the older children.
On the other hand, paediatrics deals with medical care of the infants above one month of age, children and adolescents up to the age of 21. The paediatricians are the specialist healthcare professionals who help in the management of the overall health of the child which includes both physical behaviour and issues regarding mental health. At KARE, we have adequately trained and vastly experienced paediatricians & neonatologists to effectively deal with all sorts of childhood illnesses from the minor health problems to even the most serious diseases or problems.
