Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18. The field encompasses a wide range of health services from preventive health care to the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases. Pediatricians are medical doctors who specialize in this field, focusing on the physical, emotional, and social health of children at each stage of development. They work to reduce infant and child mortality, control infectious disease, foster healthy lifestyles, and ease the difficulties of children and adolescents with chronic conditions. Pediatrics is not only about curing illnesses but also about understanding and supporting healthy growth and development to help ensure a long and healthy life starting from an early age.
