Tracking Growth, Shaping Futures

Growth & Development Monitoring – Dr. Mangal’s Speciality Clinic

Growth & Development Monitoring is a crucial part of paediatric care that ensures children are growing and developing according to age-appropriate milestones. It involves regular tracking of height, weight, head circumference, nutrition, motor skills, language abilities, and social–emotional development. By closely observing these factors, healthcare providers can identify early signs of delays, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying health concerns.
