If your child has an illness, injury or disease that requires surgery, a paediatric surgeon has the experience and qualifications to treat your child.

Surgical problems seen by paediatric surgeons are often quite different from those commonly seen by adult or general surgeons. Special training in paediatric surgery is important.

Paediatric surgeons – The best care for Children. Children are not just small adults. They cannot always say what is bothering them. They cannot always answer medical questions, and are not always able to be patient and helpful during a medical examination.

Paediatric surgeons know how to examine and treat children in a way that makes them relaxed and co-operative. In addition, paediatric surgeons use equipment and facilities specifically designed for children.
Most paediatric surgical officers are arranged and decorated with children in mind. This includes the examination rooms and waiting rooms, which may have toys, ideas and reading materials for children. This helps create a comfortable and nonthreatening environment for your child.
