Paediatrician

Hi ftm here. After giving birth hosp only got us to bring baby to polyclinic to check jaundice. Subsequently also for vaccinations. I have been seeing many parents talking about bringing baby to PD if baby unwell. Isit a mus to bring baby to pd or can go for general practitioner or go polyclinic. May i know how do i go about it? Where do i find PD? In a hosp? and the cost isit like a private rate or something? Thanks in advance.

The vaccinations can be done at either polyclinic or PD as your preference. It doesn't mean once you go to PD for vaccination, subsequent vaccination has to be done by the PD, likewise if earlier vaccination was done at the polyclinic. If baby is unwell due to common illness, you can go to polyclinic, GP or PD. Most parents will prefer PD if financial permits as the rate charged by the PD is higher. I had brought my children to GP when the PD was closed and have no issue. Not all PD practice in hospitals. You can google PD clinics nearest to your residence.
