Paediatric Neuroscience

Paediatric neuroscience is a critical field that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the nervous system in children. These disorders can cause developmental delays, seizures, neuromuscular disorders, and genetic abnormalities, among others. Paediatric neuroscience is essential to ensure the proper brain development and overall health of children worldwide.

The proper development and functioning of the nervous system are essential for a child’s physical, cognitive, and emotional growth. Early diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders can help prevent further complications and improve a child’s quality of life.

The high prevalence of neurological disorders in children highlights the need for specialised care and early intervention. With proper diagnosis and treatment, children with neurological disorders can lead healthy and fulfilling lives. With an impressive team of highly skilled and experienced Western-board-certified paediatric neurologists, Burjeel Medical City offers comprehensive paediatric neuroscience services to support the brain health of children.

Paediatric Gastroenterology

Gut health is an essential aspect of overall health, especially for children. The gut microbiota, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms living in the digestive tract, plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of the immune system and overall health.

The doctors at Burjeel Medical City work together to provide an array of services, from prevention and diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases, including irritable bowel syndrome and celiac disease, to treatments for inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, and Crohn’s disease.

Paediatric Cardiology

Advances made in paediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery, and critical care have improved the survival and quality of life for children with congenital heart diseases, but there is still a significant burden of illness that requires attention. The importance of paediatric cardiology lies in its role in preventing, diagnosing, and treating heart disease in children, which can have a lifelong impact on their health and well-being. The paediatric cardiology experts at Burjeel Medical City evaluate and care for all children with heart problems, from new-borns to adolescents. The hospital provides ECG, ECHO, Holter monitoring, exercise testing, cardiac MRI, and cardiac CT.

Paediatric Pulmonology

Pneumonia is the biggest infectious killer of children worldwide, claiming the lives of more than 700,000 children under the age of five every year, including over 153,000 new-borns who are particularly vulnerable to infection. Paediatric pulmonology plays a vital role in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of respiratory infections in children. Respiratory infections can range from mild infections like the common cold to more severe illnesses like pneumonia, bronchitis, and asthma. These infections can cause significant morbidity and mortality in children.

The expert paediatric pulmonologists at Burjeel Medical City are specialised healthcare professionals who have undergone extensive training and education in the diagnosis and management of respiratory illnesses in children. They work closely with paediatricians, paediatric nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care to children with respiratory infections.

Paediatric Intensive Care and Neonatal Intensive Care

Paediatric intensive care and neonatal intensive care are crucial components of the healthcare system for critically ill children and new-borns. These specialised areas of medicine provide life-saving care to some of the most vulnerable patients.

The importance of paediatric and neonatal intensive care lies in their ability to provide specialised care to critically ill children and new-borns, often including life support measures such as mechanical ventilation, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and continuous

renal replacement therapy. Purpose remains to stabilise the child’s condition and provide support while the underlying condition is treated. Overall, paediatric and neonatal intensive care are essential components of the healthcare system, providing life-saving care to critically ill children and new-borns and improving outcomes for these vulnerable patients.
