Paediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with medical care of infants, children and adolescents. Neonatology is a sub-specialty involving care of new-borns especially premature or ill new-borns. Children are physiologically different from adults hence the concerns of a paediatrician like congenital defects, developmental issues and so on, are greater than for a physician treating an adult. Scientific advances and technology have enabled treatment of complex diseases and conditions however research is ongoing to understand the factors affecting decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment to the paediatric population.
