Screening & Preventive Programs

Prevention and early detection are key to optimal child health. Our screening programs identify potential health issues before they become serious problems, allowing for early intervention and better outcomes.

Vision & Hearing Screening

Vision and hearing are essential for learning and development. We conduct age-appropriate screening at regular intervals to detect problems early. Vision screening identifies refractive errors, amblyopia, and other eye conditions. Hearing screening ensures early identification of hearing loss, allowing for timely intervention that is crucial for language development.

Anemia & Nutritional Screening

Iron deficiency anemia is common in children and can affect growth, development, and school performance. We screen for anemia at recommended ages and in high-risk populations. Testing includes hemoglobin levels and, when needed, additional iron studies. Treatment plans address dietary improvements and iron supplementation when necessary.

Growth & Obesity Assessment

Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions and can lead to serious health consequences. We monitor growth patterns, calculate body mass index (BMI), and identify children at risk for obesity or underweight. Our comprehensive approach includes dietary counseling, physical activity promotion, and addressing underlying medical or psychosocial factors.

Vitamin Deficiency Screening

Vitamin deficiencies can impact overall health and development. We screen for common deficiencies including vitamin D, vitamin B12, and others based on risk factors. Vitamin D deficiency is particularly common in our region and can affect bone health. We provide appropriate supplementation recommendations and dietary guidance.
