Pediatrics
Pediatric consultations carry out the surveillance and promotion of the health of children and young people up to 18 years of age.
These are very comprehensive consultations where the stages of physical, psychomotor, cognitive and emotional development of babies, children and young people are assessed. A detailed health examination is carried out, allowing early detection, follow-up and referral of situations that may negatively affect the health of children and young people. Advice is given on the various vaccination plans available. Questions are clarified and intervention plans, appropriate to each family context, are carried out.
Pediatric consultations are recommended on the 1st week of life, at 15 days of life, monthly until the age of 6 months and every 2 or 3 months until they reach 12 months. We re-evaluate at 15, 18 and 24 months. From that moment onwards the Pediatric consultations should be annual.
