Frequently asked questions
Does the doctor also examine babies?
Yes, the doctor examines children of all ages, including babies, and refers you to a paediatrician or a hospital department when necessary.
When should I call the emergency services rather than a home doctor?
If your child is struggling to breathe, is no longer responding normally, is having a seizure or shows signs of severe dehydration, call the emergency services immediately.
