Course Description
Child health is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. Child health needs differ from those of the adult population in many respects. Apart from the obvious differences in body size, it is increasingly recognized that infants, children and adolescents differ physiologically from adults. From before birth through to young adulthood there are a range of health issues that affect our children. Child health covers many of those issues, from general childhood illnesses, nutrition and obesity, to allergies and parenting advice.
