We also have a Young Child Clinic (YCC) that runs from Monday to Friday (9am5:30pm) where we offer the following services:

Growth monitoring: This involved observing changes in a child’s physical development by regular measurement of weight and sometimes of length. It is an important tool in individual care for early detection of health and nutrition problems in growing children. Nutrition education: This includes education on the importance of breastfeeding, when to start weaning, which food to start first, and more. “At TGH we have a general clinic run by a pediatrician every day of the week. This is where the diagnosis and treatment of various acute and chronic conditions are done.” For more information about our services, please visit Tasakhtaa Global Hospital or call us at +255 242 232341.
