Conditions treated

Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters or kidneys, increasing the risk of kidney infections and long-term kidney damage if untreated.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, or urethra. Early detection and treatment are essential to prevent complications.

Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by bacteria or viruses, leading to inflammation and difficulty breathing. It can affect children and adults and may become serious if untreated.

Nutritional Deficiency

Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not get enough essential nutrients, either due to poor intake, absorption issues, or increased requirements. This can affect growth, energy, immunity, and overall health.

Measles

Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that affects the respiratory system and skin. It is preventable through vaccination.

Lactose Intolerance

Lactose intolerance occurs when the body is unable to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. This can lead to digestive discomfort after consuming dairy.

Influenza (Seasonal Flu)

Influenza is a viral infection that affects the nose, throat, and lungs, commonly occurring during winter months in Qatar. It spreads easily and can cause mild to severe illness.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD)

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a common viral infection in young children that causes rashes on the hands and feet along with sores in the mouth. It usually resolves on its own within 7–10 days.

Enuresis (Bedwetting)

Enuresis, commonly known as bedwetting, is the involuntary passing of urine during sleep in children aged 5 years and above. It is a common and usually temporary condition that improves with age.

Dengue Fever

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection. Although not endemic, cases are occasionally reported in Qatar due to international travel and imported infections.

Croup

Croup is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the upper airway, particularly the larynx and trachea. It is common in young children and often occurs during seasonal viral outbreaks.

Celiac Disease (Pediatric)

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which ingestion of gluten leads to damage of the small intestine. It commonly affects children and can impact growth, nutrition, and overall health. Early diagnosis and dietary management help prevent complications and support healthy development.

Bronchiolitis (Infants)

Bronchiolitis is a viral infection of the small airways (bronchioles) in the lungs, most commonly affecting infants. It is usually caused by the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and can lead to breathing difficulties. Early recognition and supportive care help prevent complications.

Anxiety and Mood Disorders in Children

These disorders affect a child’s emotional well-being and behavior, impacting daily functioning at home, school, and in social settings. Early recognition and support can improve outcomes and overall quality of life.

Asthma in Children

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways that makes breathing difficult. It is common in children and can range from mild to severe. Proper management helps children stay active, sleep well, and maintain normal growth and development.
