Medical consultations

Pediatric specialist consultations

A pediatrician is a specialist with comprehensive knowledge of health problems in childhood. He deals with the prevention and assessment of development, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of diseases among children from infancy to the age of eighteen. The most common diseases include: upper respiratory tract infections – colds, flu, bronchitis, angina, rubella, common parotitis (so-called mumps), chickenpox, otitis, and erythema. Children of preschool age are most at risk of their occurrence and they are frequent patients for consultation with a pediatrician.

During the consultation, the pediatrician monitors the child’s development. It does this on the basis of periodic surveys, the so-called health balances. The pediatrician also issues orders regarding mandatory and recommended preventive vaccinations. During a visit to a pediatrician, parents and children are educated in the field of disease prevention, healthy lifestyle, proper care and developmental changes at various stages of a child’s life. If abnormalities requiring specialist treatment are identified, the pediatrician refers the patient to the appropriate specialist.

Family medicine consultations
Family medicine consultations

A family medicine doctor (GP’s) deals with the patients of all ages and multidimensional health conditions. Their task is to provide medical care to the whole family, including diagnosis and treatment of diseases, as well as disease prevention by educating patients about a healthy lifestyle, hygiene, nutrition and physical activity.

A family medicine doctor conducts medical examinations, prescribes medications, orders diagnostic tests and, if necessary, makes referrals to specialists. As part of his work, a family medicine doctor also deals with the prevention of diseases, especially those that are family-related, i.e. hereditary diseases, and also conducts vaccination programs for patients.

A family medicine doctor can also act as a care coordinator, combining the care of other specialists and helping patients to coordinate health care when this requires a comprehensive approach to treatment.
