Our doctors assess key developmental milestones, ensuring your baby is gaining weight appropriately, responding to stimuli, and feeding effectively.- Childhood immunisations: At our clinic, you can ensure your child receives timely and essential vaccinations as part of the National Immunisation Program (NIP). These immunisations protect against serious diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, polio, and more, helping to build lifelong immunity.
- Growth and developmental check-ups: Our doctors conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate your child’s speech, motor skills, behaviour, and cognitive development, ensuring they are reaching key milestones.
