Nothing is more important to a parent than their children’s’ health. That is why regular Children’s Wellness Checks, from infancy to adolescence, are a must. As a parent, however, you can feel like you are going in blind, so you want to know that you are in good hands. Having had Dr. Marina looking after my daughter from birth, to a now lively four-year-old, we can certainly vouch that at SinoUnited Health you are.
The foremost reason for Children’s Wellness Checks is to keep up to date with the vaccine schedule – vital in disease prevention. Checkups also allow doctors to do important examinations to evaluate how your child is growing – both physically and mentally – which can both be reassuring, and also an opportunity to draw attention to any issues that may have been missed, or not obvious to those without medical knowledge.
Important examinations like checking your child's weight and height, calculating their body mass index (BMI) and plotting the measurements on the growth charts; checking your child's blood pressure, vision and hearing using standard testing equipment; and asking questions, addressing concerns and offering advice.
Laboratory tests are also done, with (depending on age) blood and urine samples taken, giving further clues on how the child is doing. The doctor, parent and child talk also develops an exchange of ideas, and parents can take home nuggets of information on how best to take care of a child.
SinoUnited Health’s service on all of the above is impeccable from start to finish, from putting children at ease in an unfamiliar setting, to follow up consultations with parents once the results have been accessed.
Small touches make all the difference in these situations, and SinoUnited get it right, with fun kid-inspired décor and the child’s perspective always being considered – symbols on the eye chart, for example, mean you can turn it into a fun game rather than a scary test.
The standout, and arguably most important thing of all, however, is the pediatric personnel. Everyone from the reception to the nurses and doctors are welcoming, with a warm manner that puts parents and children alike at ease.
After a seamless set of tests, and a talk with the doctor, a comprehensive list of results is presented to you within an hour of entering the clinic. The doctor will then explain them to you, making what could be indecipherable or intimidating, into something invaluably useful. Friendly feedback is then given, with relevant advice on everything from diet to hygiene, and any follow up requirements.
Doctors recommend Wellness Checks once a month up to six months of age, once every two months from six to 12 months of age, once every three months over the age of 12 months, and every year after that.
As a first time father who was looking for reassurance, sound advice and the warmth of people who genuinely care for you and your family, the SinoUnited team have been exactly that for me. Let SinoUnited Health look after you on every step of your journey.
