Paediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the health and development of children from birth to adolescence.
Paediatricians diagnose and treat a variety of conditions affecting infants, children and teenagers, such as infections, injuries, genetic disorders, chronic diseases and behavioural problems.
Neonatology is a subspecialty of paediatrics that focuses on the care of newborns, especially those who are premature, sick or have complex medical needs.
Neonatologists work in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) where they provide intensive monitoring and treatment for newborns who require special attention.
