Paediatrics
Expert, compassionate care for every stage of your child's growth- from birth through adolescence.
About Department
Children are not small adults. Their physiology, developmental needs, and response to illness require a level of medical expertise that goes far beyond general practice. At PB Health, our Department of Paediatrics is built around this understanding.

Integrated Care Model
Our Paediatrics Department follows a family-centered, coordinated care model where paediatricians, paediatric subspecialists, nurses, nutritionists, and child psychologists work together to support every aspect of your child’s health and development. Care is tailored according to the child’s age, symptoms, and individual healthcare needs.
Care pathways are structured from the point of first contact through to follow-up, ensuring consistency and continuity at every stage. Children are assessed comprehensively, with growth parameters and developmental milestones reviewed at each visit.
For children requiring hospitalisation, we provide a dedicated paediatric inpatient ward with parent accommodation. Children who are critically ill or require close monitoring and advanced intervention are admitted to our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), staffed by trained intensivists and supported by round-the-clock specialist nursing care.
Clinical Focus Areas
- Neonates (0–28 days): Newborn examination, assessment of jaundice, feeding difficulties, and screening for congenital anomaly and neonatal sepsis
- Infants (1–12 months): Growth monitoring, developmental milestones, vaccination completion, and sleep or feeding issues
- Toddlers (1–3 years): Speech and language development, healthy bowel habits, picky eating, recurrent infections, and injury prevention
- Preschool (3–5 years): School readiness, vision and hearing screening, asthma diagnosis, and allergy testing
- School-age (6–12 years): Obesity prevention, dental health, learning difficulties, anxiety, and bedwetting (enuresis)
- Adolescents (13–18 years): Puberty, menstrual disorders, acne, mental health (depression and anxiety), substance use prevention, vaccination, and sexual health education
