Paediatrics - Description
The Department of Paediatrics at CHIREC looks after all children aged 0 to 16 years.
Our paediatricians work together with the gynaecologists and the various specialists within the Institution. The team has all the skills that are needed to deal with the different health problems that your child may encounter from birth to adolescence.
