Ruber Internacional Centro Médico Habana Strengthens Its Pediatrics Team to Provide Comprehensive and Excellent Child Care

As part of its commitment to providing comprehensive, high-quality care at every stage of life, Ruber Internacional Centro Médico Habana is strengthening its pediatric care model through the incorporation of a team of professionals from Centro Creciendo Madrid, founded and directed by Dr. Lucía Galán Bertrand. Together, they will offer a leading multidisciplinary project in child health, adolescence, neurodevelopment, and family support, delivering human-centered care based on scientific evidence.

In this regard, well-child visits are one of the most important tools in preventive pediatrics, although they are often associated solely with monitoring weight, height, or vaccinations. However, pediatricians emphasize that these appointments play an essential role in supporting child development and enabling the early detection of potential physical, emotional, or neurodevelopmental difficulties.

From the first days of life through adolescence, these visits make it possible to assess how each child is growing and developing, address families’ concerns, and promote healthy habits tailored to every stage. Nutrition, sleep, language development, school adjustment, emotional health, and screen use are now routine components of pediatric follow-up care.

During the first weeks of life, consultations focus particularly on feeding and the newborn’s adaptation, while in the first months special attention is given to early development, family routines, and preventive measures such as child safety and the prevention of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

As children grow, follow-up care takes on new objectives. Between six and twelve months of age, complementary feeding and the detection of potential food allergies become especially important. Between one and three years of age, monitoring language development, communication, and social interaction is particularly relevant in order to identify possible difficulties early and provide timely intervention when needed.

During the school years and adolescence, routine check-ups also become an opportunity to address issues that extend far beyond illness, including learning, self-esteem, emotional well-being, social relationships, physical activity, sleep, and digital habits.

The incorporation of Centro Creciendo Madrid into Ruber Internacional Centro Médico Habana reflects this vision of pediatrics focused on prevention and comprehensive support, strengthening a model of care that considers children’s health from physical, emotional, and social perspectives.

One of the fundamental pillars of these check-ups continues to be vaccination. Vaccination schedules are regularly reviewed and updated, incorporating new recommendations based on scientific evidence and the individual needs of each child.

The pediatricians at Ruber Internacional Centro Médico Habana emphasize that regular check-ups are an investment in future health, as they not only allow for monitoring growth and development but also help build trust, identify early warning signs, and provide families with practical tools to confidently support each stage of their child’s growth and development.
