Pediatrics, also known as paediatrics or pædiatrics, is a crucial branch of medicine focused on the healthcare of infants, children, and adolescents. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is advisable for individuals to receive pediatric care until the age of 21, although typically, minors under 18 are primarily required to do so. Specialists in this field are referred to as pediatricians or paediatricians. The term "pediatrics" is derived from the Greek words παῖς (pais, meaning "child") and ἰατρός (iatros, meaning "doctor" or "healer"). Pediatricians are essential in various medical settings, including hospitals—especially in subspecialties like neonatology—and outpatient primary care.
