Doting on the Practitioner: Insights Revealed
In the heart of the city, a multi-disciplinary children's hospital held a free consultation for young patients, focusing on orthopedic and traumatic concerns. The event was part of a nationwide initiative called "Doctor - a Child's Guardian," aimed at preventing musculoskeletal system diseases and expediting the diagnosis of orthopedic and traumatic disorders.
The consultation was timed to coincide with the upcoming Children's Day, due to an observed rise in domestic and street trauma among the capital's young residents. Dr. Arslan DUISENBAEV, a traumatologist, expressed concern over the upsurge: "Recent incidents have reminded us not to take our children's safety for granted; unattended youngsters are at risk of falls from windows."
Parents were granted the opportunity to ask medical professionals questions and obtain advice during the consultation. Irina PETRUSHEVICH, a local resident, sought out the traumatologist for her daughter's flat feet issue. "We wanted expert opinions and recommendations on our child's condition," she explained.
The day saw numerous parents bringing children with diagnoses ranging from scoliosis and posture problems to the early stages of orthopedic and traumatic disorders. Medical specialists found these conditions, along with the consequences of domestic and sports injuries, to be increasingly common reasons for medical consultations.
Early detection and treatment of these ailments are crucial, according to specialists, as most diseases can be effectively managed in their early stages. The public was invited to meet with the specialists, provided they registered in advance on the hospital's website, www.2kqba.kz.
In an effort to ease children's apprehension about doctors' visits, the organizers offered amusements such as treats and entertainment with animators.
