Vaccinations & Preventive Care
Vaccinations and preventive care are essential pillars of a child’s long-term health and well-being. They not only protect against life-threatening diseases but also contribute to healthier communities by preventing the spread of infections. At Aum Hospital, Balasore, Dr. Purna Chandra Das emphasizes the importance of timely immunizations and regular health checkups as part of a comprehensive pediatric care approach.
With over 35 years of experience in pediatric surgery and child health, Dr. Das understands that prevention is always better than cure—especially in children. He ensures that every child receives age-appropriate vaccinations as per national and international immunization schedules, including protection against diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, polio, hepatitis, pneumonia, and more.
Beyond routine immunizations, Dr. Das also focuses on preventive health strategies tailored to the unique needs of each child. This includes monitoring growth and development milestones, guiding parents on nutrition and hygiene, screening for congenital conditions, and managing risk factors early. Preventive pediatric care plays a critical role in detecting and addressing issues such as anemia, vitamin deficiencies, allergies, and developmental delays before they become serious health concerns.
In his practice, Dr. Das takes time to educate parents about the benefits and possible side effects of vaccines, offering a transparent and reassuring environment. He firmly believes that well-informed parents are key partners in a child’s healthcare journey. Each vaccination is administered with proper protocols, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
Dr. Das also offers preventive care for adolescents, including HPV vaccinations, mental health assessments, and counseling on lifestyle choices. These efforts are particularly important in today’s rapidly changing world, where children face a variety of physical and emotional challenges.
Regular wellness visits with Dr. Das help track your child’s growth, ensure vaccination compliance, and build a trusting relationship with the healthcare provider. This proactive approach to health helps children lead stronger, disease-free lives.
By combining medical expertise with a compassionate touch, Dr. Purna Chandra Das provides more than just treatment—he offers a lifelong foundation for health.
