Pediatrics treats children aged up to 15 years old. There are pediatrics that require an appointment before visiting and others that don't. The process of seeing a pediatrician is the same as seeing other doctors, so please refer to What to do when you visit a clinic/hospitals section in this website. If the parents of the child have insurance, such as National Health Insurance, a Free Medical Care Certificate for Infants is issued from the local City Hall and the infant can receive treatments and medications for free.
