General pediatrics deals with the diagnosis and treatment of major pediatric diseases. It takes charge of children and young people with different problems, planning any in-depth investigations necessary to formulate a diagnosis and prepare an appropriate therapeutic direction.

What we deal with


  • Prevention and prophylaxis: promoting healthy development.
  • Healing: acute and emergency medicine.
  • Accompanying and supporting: chronic diseases and rehabilitation.

Diagnosis and treatment

General pediatrics in hospital and emergency room settings mainly deals with pediatric patients with common diseases (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, upper airway infections, exanthema, etc.). Investigations, therapy and treatments are referred to the diagnosis made.

In situations where the diagnostic process does not lead to a definite diagnosis, pediatric specialists are promptly consulted in a multidisciplinary manner so as to complete the specialized investigations.
