VINH INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL: Developing a general health check-up program for children

(Baonghean) -A general health check-up for children not only helps parents know their children's health status both physically and mentally, but can also detect diseases early, making the treatment process easier. Therefore, Vinh International Hospital builds and develops a general health check-up program for children, through complete medical services to advise and share with parents useful knowledge in caring for and protecting children's health.

Why should children have regular health check-ups?

Every family always wants their children to grow up healthy and smart. However, in reality, parents are often very anxious and worried to see a doctor or seek treatment when their children show signs of abnormal health (high fever, pneumonia, diarrhea, etc.) but pay little attention to monitoring their children's health during each stage of their development.

Vinh International Hospital currently offers comprehensive health check-up packages for children in the form of service examination and health insurance.

Through actual discussions with many parents, they shared that they never thought that their children needed to have regular health check-ups. Some parents even could not answer the doctor's simple question about their child's blood type. Lack of information about blood type will increase the risk of danger when children do not receive timely blood transfusions if they have health problems and need emergency blood transfusions.

Above all, when examining children's general health, analyzing blood formulas will help find potential diseases and whether or not there are antigens of diseases that are on the rise such as hepatitis B, to schedule proper vaccinations. Or simply like the child's development parameters and the causes that can make the child susceptible to diseases as well as preventive measures.

A general health check-up for children is very important, helping you understand the child's development in terms of height, weight, hearing, vision, digestive system, respiratory system, etc. From there, the doctor can detect early health problems of the child. There are many cases where the child has a serious illness, but because it is not detected in time, it leaves very serious consequences; even threatening the child's life.

Leading experts in the field of pediatrics in the world say that the first 1,000 days of life are the “golden period” for a child’s development. If a child is monitored and cared for properly in terms of health and nutrition, not only will he or she develop to their fullest potential in the present stage, but it will also have a long-term impact on their health and development as an adult.

For young children in the first year of life, regular health check-ups should be done monthly, for older children, health check-ups should be done every 6 months. Especially for children with weak resistance (frequently sick) or slow growth, regular health check-ups are considered a positive measure to help improve the health and growth of children in the future.

What is a reasonable general health check-up for children?

In order to advise and share with parents useful knowledge in caring for and protecting children's health, Vinh International Hospital builds and develops a general health examination program for children, with complete medical services.
