    ## Pediatric Excellence


    Finding a trusted pediatrician is a priority for every expat parent. Bali has several highly-regarded specialists.


    
      - **Specialist Clinics:** Many pediatricians work out of private clinics in Canggu, Sanur, and Ubud, offering shorter wait times and personalized care.

      - **Vaccination Programs:** International hospitals follow WHO-standard vaccination schedules, ensuring your child stays protected during your stay.

      - **Emergency Pediatric Care:** Both BIMC (Nusa Dua/Kuta) and Siloam (Sunset Road) have 24/7 emergency departments with pediatric expertise on call.

    

  


  
    ## Managing Tropical Health


    Beyond routine care, families must be aware of tropical health challenges common on the island.


    
      - **Dengue Fever:** Be vigilant during the rainy season. Use child-safe repellents and ensure your home is free of stagnant water.

      - **"Bali Belly":** While common, severe dehydration in children is a risk. Keep oral rehydration salts (like Oralit) handy and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

      - **Skin Health:** Tropical heat can lead to heat rashes and fungal issues. Keep kids cool, dry, and use high-quality, tropical-formula sunscreens.
