Therefore, any persistent complaint by a child must be checked by a pediatrician regularly in order to recognize any suspicious symptoms as early as possible. Once referred to KHCC, parents should immediately go to the pediatric clinic .The clerks are available to assist you and answer your questions. They will immediately call the nurse coordinator who will follow your case.
