Pediatric Nutritional Medicine

A healthy and balanced diet plays a vital role in the sustainable mental, social, physical and behavioural development of children.

Pediatric medical doctors apply scientific knowledge to prevent, cure and ease the symptoms of disease in children and adolescents.

Pediatric nutritional medicine focusses on findings related to dietary intake to prevent illnesses, such as obesity with its longterm effects.
