Pediatrics
The pediatrician is the first doctor in a person’s life. They are familiar with the characteristics of a child’s body and development at every stage of growth. One of the main challenges of a pediatrician’s work is that children are often unable to clearly express what hurts or describe their complaints. For this reason, the doctor must approach the young patient with great attention and care, which makes it possible to prescribe effective treatment.
Caring for children’s health is a priority for every parent. Pediatrics is the branch of medicine focused on preserving children’s health. Pediatricians specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases.
What does a pediatrician treat?
Within the Pediatric Service, the following are provided:
- Monitoring of young children
- Dispensary observation of children with chronic illnesses
- Treatment of acute and chronic diseases
- Scheduled check-ups at defined intervals
- Preparation of an individual vaccination schedule
- Issuance of medical certificates regarding physical activity limitations
- Consultations with subspecialists
Diagnosis and treatment of children’s diseases are carried out using specialized equipment and based on clinical, laboratory (general blood tests, biochemical, hormonal, immunological), and instrumental investigations (ultrasound, advanced radiological methods such as radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging).
When to see a pediatrician:
- Fever: High temperature may indicate various infections.
- Cough and nasal discharge: While colds are common in children, if symptoms do not improve or worsen, medical treatment may be required.
- Sore throat: Pain and difficulty swallowing may signal an upper respiratory infection.
- Abdominal pain: This can result from different causes, from infections to digestive problems.
- Behavioral changes: If your child becomes irritable, apathetic, or shows changes in usual habits, this may point to health concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
To book an appointment with a pediatrician, call 89 00 or visit Nairi Medical Center at 21 Paronyan Street, Yerevan. If you have previous test results, vaccination records, discharge summaries, or other medical documents, it is advisable to bring them with you.
During the appointment, the pediatrician asks about the child’s symptoms and medical history, assesses the child’s general condition, and performs a physical examination. If needed, temperature, weight, and height may be measured, and breathing, heart function, skin condition, and other parameters may be assessed. Additional tests or specialist consultations may be recommended depending on the clinical findings.
Nairi Medical Center does not provide home visits by specialists. To see a pediatrician, an appointment should be booked in advance and the child should be brought to the medical center.
A pediatrician can provide various medical certificates related to the child’s health, depending on the purpose of the visit and the available medical information. The type of certificate depends on the specific situation, the examination findings, and documentation requirements. It is advisable to confirm in advance which format is required by the relevant institution or organization.
A pediatrician monitors a child’s health throughout childhood, from birth through adolescence.
A pediatrician’s work can be assessed by their professional approach, thorough evaluation of the child’s condition, ability to answer parents’ questions clearly and understandably, and ability to explain the need for tests and next steps in a well-reasoned way. It is important that clinical decisions are based on medical findings and that the child’s condition is assessed comprehensively.
