Pediatrics

Pediatricians are doctors who provide medical care and follow-up for children from birth to the age of 16. Are you looking for a pediatrician in Renens? Our pediatric team is here to meet your needs and those of your child. Pediatrics has both a curative and a preventive purpose. The pediatricians at the Centre Médical Gare de Renens (CMGR) can rely on the expertise of the many specialists working at the center to offer your children the best possible care.

The CMGR pediatric department offers the following consultations for your children’s health:

Our pediatricians provide annual follow-up for your child, from birth through adolescence. During these visits, the pediatrician monitors growth and development (physical, motor, sensory, language, emotional, and social). These consultations are also the right time to share with your pediatrician any concerns, fears, or questions you may have.

In line with the recommendations of the FOPH (Federal Office of Public Health), our team can also vaccinate your child. Vaccinations and recommended screenings are updated and administered during care.

Preventive check-ups are recommended at the following ages: 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 months. After that, they can be done at longer intervals, every 1 to 2 years.

A preschool health check-up is required by schools before a child’s first entry into school. A questionnaire is sent by the school, which must be completed with the pediatrician. This form is intended to create the child’s health record, which will only be accessible to the school nurse.

In case of illness or various health issues, the pediatrician is also available to see your child, in particular for:

The pediatrician can also serve as an intermediary to refer more complex cases to other specialists, such as cardiology, neurology, allergology, or endocrinology. If additional tests are needed, the pediatrician will refer you to external laboratories.

Supporting adolescents during puberty, the transition from childhood to adulthood, is also part of the pediatrician’s role. Between the ages of 10 and 16, young people undergo significant physical, emotional, social, and cognitive changes. This period of life can sometimes be difficult for your growing child. During adolescent consultations, the pediatrician will address, among other things:

More than just a doctor, the pediatrician is a source of help and support for adolescents in school, professional, family, and psychosocial situations. If circumstances require, the pediatrician may refer the adolescent to child psychology or child psychiatry services.
