Sidra Medicine, a member of Qatar Foundation, has launched a new private Paediatric Wellness Clinic for children and young people up to the age of 18.
The clinic offers various diagnostic and preventative services, including immunisations. The clinic’s highly qualified team evaluate and track growth and development and assist parents in playing a crucial part in their child's well-being.
Dr Ahmed Alhammadi, executive chair of paediatric medicine at Sidra Medicine said: “Our Paediatric Wellness Clinic, takes a very family-centred approach to care, as we look into the family health history to determine the state of their child’s current health and lifestyle. Being able to acquire important information related to their toddler or teenager’s physical, emotional and mental health, will help them make impactful decisions and take necessary actions to maintain their child’s well-being.”
Services at the clinic include physical examination, measurement weight, and height monitoring. The clinic’s developmental surveillance and screening services include newborn screening, developmental and mental health screening.
“By choosing Sidra Medicine, should any abnormalities be found, or if we believe the child needs a more thorough medical examination, we can refer them to see one of our paediatric specialists in a timely manner. That way the child’s entire health record will be available to a multidisciplinary team of experts, to ensure they receive the most well-rounded care possible,” continued Dr Alhammadi.
The clinic also offers a comprehensive list of vaccines, in accordance with the Ministry of Public Health's recommendations as well as vaccines that comply with international requirements, such as HPV vaccines for both males and females and the Meningitis B vaccine.
The Paediatric Wellness Clinic is a private service and does not require a referral. The clinic is also part of Sidra Medicine’s private evening clinics and can be accessed on select weekdays from 3 to 8 pm.
