The pediatrician is one of the most important people in a child’s development and care. They are not only the doctor parents turn to when their child is sick, but also the healthcare professional who systematically monitors the child’s development, advises and guides the family, and plays a vital role in prevention.

In a particularly interesting AlphaNews podcast, pediatrician Anastasia Symeou speaks with Monica Kouroufexi about the role of the personal physician in pediatric care and the importance of building a stable relationship of trust between the pediatrician, the child, and the parents.

As she explains, the family doctor is the first doctor we should turn to when we need medical care. Especially in the case of children, choosing a pediatrician who meets the family’s needs and expectations is important, as this is the doctor who will accompany the child through the different stages of their development.
