Strange isn't it? Well, adults are not the only one who should go for check ups. Children do too. Hospitals exists not only to treat the sick but to promote good health and detect any problems early.

Sadly in Nigeria, we do not practice this very much since parents hardly ever visit the hospitals with their children for checkup unless they are ill and health care workers hardly ever inform parents that such a thing exist for children.

The benefits of going for check-ups or well-child visits are enormous. They include guiding the parents on how best to look after their child as well as addressing any concerns the parents might have, examining the child thoroughly to make sure he or she is developing normally, screening for certain silent diseases that occur in young age like delayed development, hypertension, sickle cell, problems with vision and hearing, speech problems, anemia, dental problems, heart diseases and so on.

So, dear parents, why don't you surprise your doctor today by taking your well child for a check-up?

Aside "surprising" your doctor, how about helping yourself and your child.

Thank you. Wrote the 'surprising' bit cos I know doctors will be amazed that a parent brought a well child for a visit. We only get such visits when kids are about to enter a new school.
