Paediatrics is the medical specialty dedicated to the health and care of babies, children and adolescents, from birth through adolescence.
This specialty supports children’s growth, development and wellbeing, playing a fundamental role in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of paediatric diseases, as well as in promoting healthy lifestyle habits from the earliest years of life.
