Our Care
Nutrition & blood disorders
Good nutrition and healthy blood go hand in hand with growth and energy. Dr Amir Rasheed diagnoses and treats nutrition problems and blood disorders in children, from feeding concerns and anemia to thalassemia and bleeding disorders.
Nutrition & growth
Weight, height and growth over time are measured and plotted at each visit. Advice covers what and how much your child eats, weaning and family meals, with treatment for nutritional deficiencies when tests show one.
- Undernutrition, wasting and stunting
- Overweight and obesity
- Weaning and picky eating
- Vitamin D deficiency and rickets
Blood disorders
Paleness, tiredness, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding can point to a blood problem. A blood count and other blood tests help find the cause, and treatment and follow-up are planned around your child.
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Thalassemia and other inherited anemias
- Easy bruising, bleeding disorders and hemophilia
- Low platelets (immune thrombocytopenia, ITP)
Ongoing care & referral
Children with thalassemia or other long-term blood conditions need regular blood tests and growth checks. Blood transfusion services are arranged through referral, with ongoing care continuing at the clinic.
If blood tests suggest a serious condition such as leukemia, your child is referred promptly to a pediatric hematology-oncology center.
When to go to emergency instead
Go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away for heavy bleeding that will not stop, a large or rapidly spreading rash of bruises or tiny red-purple spots with fever, or if your child is very pale with breathlessness, a fast heartbeat or fainting.
