Few things worry a parent as much as when a child gets sick. the younger the child, the greater the concern, especially since he still cannot speak and will not be able to tell you exactly where it hurts.

The fear also comes from the horror stories you hear of little ones who have been brought down by seemingly innocent coughs and colds. having a family pediatrician can ease your heart.

go to polyclinic vs private pediatrician

How to choose between a private pediatrician and a private general practitioner or a polyclinic doctor?

Well, technically, every baby is assigned a pediatrician after delivery. the gynecologist who delivered your baby will refer someone, probably from the same hospital, to check on your baby before you are discharged. after that, it’s your choice if you want to go back to the hospital to see this pediatrician.

One of the main differences between public and private health care is cost. consultation fees at a polyclinic range from $6.90 to $15, and medications are subsidized. consultation with a pd starts from $80 (repeat visits), so it’s definitely not a small expense. consultation with a private GP falls somewhere in the middle.

if you go to a pd, you will be paying for the experience of someone specialized in child care. they usually work in children’s clinics which are usually designed to distract and entertain young children so that checkups can be done in the least traumatic way.

Although it used to take years to see a doctor in polyclinics, today the facilities and services are much better. Sometimes you won’t have to wait as long to see a doctor as with ultra-popular pediatricians like Dr Eugene Han. You can also book online to choose a time so you don’t have to wait at the polyclinic with your sick baby.

In addition, you may find specialized rooms designed for vaccination of children in polyclinics that are as colorful and well designed as private children’s clinics. compulsory vaccinations against diseases such as hepatitis b, mmr, tuberculosis, are also fully subsidized in polyclinics. the nurses who administer these vaccines will also perform free developmental checks.

generally if it’s a routine wellness checkup and vaccination the nurses and gps at the polyclinics are as good as any pd. also good for your garden variety’s cough and cold.

If your baby is especially fragile (was born premature, has congenital health problems, or has been sick for a while), you can feel more secure with a trusted pd with whom you establish a family relationship.

Generally, the younger the child, the more you want someone who is an expert in childcare. by k1 or k2, your child can start going to a private doctor or a polyclinic.
