Watchful Eyes: How Al-Farabi Doctors Monitor Your Child’s Health from Infancy to School Age

In a fast-paced world, our children's health remains the true wealth we strive to protect with all our strength. At the Pediatrics Department of Al-Farabi Clinics in Riyadh, we believe that a child’s complete health journey doesn’t begin only when illness strikes—it’s a continuous path of preventive care, close monitoring, and early intervention that ensures healthy and holistic growth for our little ones.

From the First Step: Early Care That Makes a Difference

The Al-Farabi pediatric team begins caring for your child from their very first days. We understand that the arrival of a newborn comes with many questions and concerns. That’s why we’ve designed specialized programs that include:

• Comprehensive newborn screening
• Breastfeeding support
• A complete vaccination schedule

Early detection means early intervention—and early intervention leads to better outcomes.

Smart Monitoring: When Regular Visits Are More Than Routine

At Al-Farabi Clinics, we believe regular check-ups aren’t just routine—they’re valuable opportunities to assess your child’s full development:

The First Year: A Strong Foundation for Growth

We follow a scheduled tracking system to monitor your child at the following ages:

• 2 weeks
• 2 months
• 4 months
• 6 months
• 9 months
• 12 months

At each visit, we assess:

• Physical growth (weight, height, head circumference)
• Motor and cognitive development
• Nutrition and sleep patterns
• Emotional and psychological well-being

From Year Two to Preschool: Building Sustainable Health Foundations

Monitoring continues with fewer but equally comprehensive visits:

• Annual comprehensive check-ups
• Evaluation of language and social development
• Dietary assessments and expert guidance
• Monitoring emotional and psychological growth indicators

School Age: Adapting to New Challenges

As your child enters school, their health needs evolve. At this stage, we provide:

• Pre-school comprehensive health screening
• School readiness evaluation (sensory and cognitive)
• Advanced vision and hearing tests
• Posture and spinal assessments
• Psychological counseling to support school adaptation

Real Stories: Success Cases from Al-Farabi Clinics
