Frequently asked questions
How are vaccines managed in the unit?
We administer vaccinations in accordance with recommended immunization schedules, ensuring each child receives the necessary doses at the appropriate time to maximize protection against infectious diseases.
What types of ultrasounds are performed in the Pediatric Unit?
We perform abdominal ultrasounds to examine the internal organs of the abdomen, such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines. This procedure is non-invasive and provides valuable information for diagnosing medical conditions.
What diagnostic tests are performed for infections?
We perform a variety of diagnostic tests, including throat swab analyses to detect the presence of pathogens like bacteria and viruses, allowing for rapid diagnosis and effective treatment.
How long does it take to get a diagnosis?
The time needed to obtain a diagnosis can vary depending on the type of test performed. We strive to provide results as quickly as possible to ensure timely and effective treatment.
How often should I take my child for pediatric check-ups?
Regular check-ups are recommended every six months during the first years of life, and annually from five years of age onwards. However, this may vary depending on each child’s health needs.
The AGEL Canarias Pediatric Unit, led by Dr. Federico Philips, offers comprehensive and specialized medical care for children and adolescents, covering all stages of child development. We focus on providing complete care that includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide variety of pediatric conditions, ensuring the health and well-being of the little ones.
In our unit, we work with state-of-the-art technology and adopt an advanced approach that allows us to offer precise diagnoses and effective treatments. From abdominal ultrasound, a non-invasive procedure that facilitates the evaluation of internal organs without exposing the child to radiation, to diagnostic tests for infections such as throat swabs to identify the responsible pathogen (whether virus or bacterium), each service is designed to provide maximum comfort and safety for younger patients.
Additionally, our comprehensive vaccination program is tailored to each child’s individual needs, ensuring protection against common diseases and adherence to established vaccination schedules.
AGEL Canarias’s comprehensive approach seeks to minimize waiting times and provide rapid and accurate diagnosis and treatment.
