Why is Developmental Paediatrics Important?
1 in 10 Indian children faces early developmental challenges. These difficulties often go unnoticed but can impact a child’s future significantly. Early identification and intervention can change a child’s developmental trajectory, ensuring they receive the right support at the right time.

Individualised therapy plans developed in collaboration with parents to meet the child’s needs.
Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adapt strategies.
