Pediatric Wellness Clinic

At Sidra Medicine’s Pediatric Wellness Clinic, we offer a patient and family focused approach to care for children and young people up to the age of 18. The private clinic offers various diagnostic and preventative services, including immunizations, in accordance with Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health's recommendations.

With routine wellness checks, we can empower you, as the parent, to acquire important information related to your child’s physical, emotional and mental health. This can help you to make impactful decisions and take necessary actions to maintain your child’s well-being. Routine check-ups and regular vaccines and screenings, can also ensure you manage or prevent serious health conditions, when they are at an early stage.

By choosing Sidra Medicine, should any abnormalities be found, or if we believe your child needs a more thorough medical examination, we can refer your child to see one of our pediatric specialists in a timely manner. That way your child’s entire health record will be available to a multidisciplinary team of experts, to ensure your child receives the most well-rounded care possible.

The Pediatric Wellness Clinic is a private service and does not require a referral. We accept self-pay and insurance including direct billing with select providers. Reach out to us today and book an appointment for a wellness check with our board-certified team of qualified medical practitioners.
