Pediatrics Services
Finding a caring pediatrician in Kampala matters, because children need doctors who understand how young bodies grow and heal. At Kampala Ntinda Hospital, our children’s clinic looks after babies, toddlers, school-age children and teenagers. We treat illness, track growth and support parents at every stage.
Our pediatric team includes specialist pediatricians and neonatologists. As a result, we can care for newborns who need extra attention as well as older children with everyday infections.

When to bring your child to a pediatrician
Trust your instincts. If something does not feel right, it is always better to have your child checked. In particular, see a doctor quickly if your child:
- has a high fever, especially a baby under three months
- is breathing fast or with difficulty
- is not feeding, drinking or passing urine as usual
- is unusually sleepy, floppy or hard to wake
- has a fit (convulsion) or a rash that does not fade when pressed
- has diarrhoea or vomiting that does not stop
In an emergency, come straight to the hospital or call us so that our team can prepare for your arrival.
What to expect at your child’s visit
A gentle, child-friendly approach
Our doctors and nurses take time to help children feel safe. For example, we explain each step in simple words and let parents stay close throughout the examination.
Clear answers for parents
After the check-up, your pediatrician explains the diagnosis, the treatment and any warning signs to watch for at home. In addition, we give written instructions for medicines so that you can give the right dose.
Follow-up care
If your child needs tests, our laboratory processes most samples on site. Then your doctor reviews the results with you and adjusts treatment if needed.
Meet our pediatric specialists
Our children’s clinic is led by Dr Khalid Abduelatif and Dr Sara Mohamed, both pediatricians and neonatologists, together with pediatric specialist Dr Emtithal Mergani. They also work closely with our obstetricians and gynecologists, so newborns receive expert care from the moment they arrive. See the whole team on our specialists page.

Frequently asked questions
At what age should my child see a pediatrician?
From birth. Newborns benefit from an early check, and then regular visits help us track growth through childhood and the teenage years.
Do you see children without an appointment?
Yes, we see sick children who walk in. However, booking ahead for routine check-ups helps reduce your waiting time.
Can I bring my child’s vaccination card?
Please do. It helps your doctor check which vaccines your child has already received.
