Maternity and child health clinics

When your child falls ill

- please do not bring your child to the child health clinic when they are ill.
The maternity and child health clinic provides care and treatment to newborn babies and pregnant women. Please show consideration to other children and do not bring a child who has a fever or is ill to the clinic, as viruses spread easily. The child’s parent/escort and any accompanying siblings must also be healthy when participating in an appointment at the clinic.

A public health nurse can, however, provide advice and home care instructions by phone and prepare a medical certificate for the treatment of an ill child by telephone appointment.
