Looking for a child doctor, baby doctor or kids specialist? A paediatrician is the medical term for a child doctor who provides medical care for infants, children and teenagers. From routine vaccinations and growth check-ups to fever, infections and childhood diseases, a paediatrician is the first doctor parents turn to. In India, a qualified child doctor holds MBBS followed by MD (Paediatrics) or DCH. For newborn care, look for a hospital with a well-equipped NICU. For specific childhood conditions like childhood epilepsy or heart defects, paediatric super-specialists offer deeper expertise.
