We, at ARHI hospital, Jorabat, are committed to providing child health care with our Department of Pediatrics which focuses on the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents, typically up to the age of 18.
At ARHI hospital, we diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of illnesses and medical conditions that affect children. We care for patients from birth through adolescence and monitor growth and development, provide vaccinations, and offer guidance on nutrition, behaviour, and overall wellness at each stage of a child's life.
We conduct developmental screenings to assess a child's physical, cognitive, and behavioural development. These screenings help identify any developmental delays or concerns early, allowing for timely interventions and support services to promote optimal development.
We provide well-child visits which are regular check-ups to monitor a child's growth and development, provide preventive care, and address any concerns or questions that parents may have. During these visits, we assess physical, emotional, and social milestones and provide guidance on age-appropriate behaviour and activities.
Our department endeavours to diagnose and treat a wide range of acute conditions that affect children, including respiratory infections, ear infections, asthma, allergies, gastrointestinal issues, skin conditions, and injuries. Treatment for these conditions often involves medications, rest, fluids, and supportive care to alleviate symptoms and facilitate recovery.
We also manage chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis and autoimmune disorders. Treatment for chronic conditions typically involves medications, lifestyle modifications, regular monitoring, and specialized care from pediatric specialists.
Preventive care is a fundamental aspect of our department of Pediatrics. We provide vaccinations according to recommended schedules to protect children from infectious diseases. We also offer guidance on injury prevention, nutrition, physical activity, and safety measures to promote overall health and well-being.
Our care often involves the family as active participants in the child's healthcare journey. We work closely with parents and caregivers to address concerns, provide education, and develop treatment plans that align with the family's values and preferences.
In our department of Pediatrics, we strive to establish long-term relationships with their patients and families, providing continuity of care from infancy through adolescence. This continuity allows to monitor a child's health over time, track developmental progress, and address emerging health issues promptly.
Overall, our department encompasses a broad range of medical services dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of children, from birth through adolescence, addressing the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of children, with a focus on preventive care, early intervention, and family- centred support, thereby, promoting optimal health outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for pediatric patients and their families.
