Pediatrics
Pediatrics involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. Differences between adult medicine and pediatric medicine are mostly due to the differences in body size and maturation.
Congenital defects, genetic variance, and developmental issues are of greater concern to pediatricians, and the immature physiology of the infant or child must be taken into account when considering symptoms, prescribing medications, and diagnosing illnesses.
Aside from pediatrics, Hospital Ochoa has specialist physicians dedicated to children within the fields of ophthalmology, psychology, dentistry, ENT and cardiology.
Our Pediatrics Department provides:
- Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care.
- Various health check-ups and examinations.
- Interdisciplinary consultations with other medical specialties.
- Preferential access to laboratory tests.
