Regular growth and development check-ups to ensure your child is thriving.
What We Offer
These visits track physical growth, cognitive and emotional development, and ensure key milestones are being met. You'll receive expert advice on nutrition, sleep routines, immunisations, and more—plus reassurance for any concerns along the way.
Immunisations
Complete vaccination support to keep your little one protected and healthy.
What We Offer
Vaccinations are crucial for protecting your child against life-threatening illnesses. At our Newcastle practice, Dr Mahlaba provides all routine childhood immunisations in line with South Africa’s Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI). We also offer elective vaccines and take time to educate and reassure parents at every visit.
Common Childhood Illnesses
Compassionate care when your child is unwell—big or small concerns welcome.
What We Offer
Children can fall sick quickly—and parents deserve fast, empathetic care. We manage everything from minor viral infections to more complex conditions like eczema, asthma, or persistent coughs. Dr Mahlaba’s approach is to treat not just the illness, but the child as a whole.
Developmental & Behavioural Assessments
Early detection and guidance for learning, speech, and behaviour concerns.
What We Offer
Early signs of developmental delays—speech, motor skills, or attention—can be subtle. Dr Mahlaba offers structured assessments using validated tools and works with local therapists and schools for referrals.
Allergies & Asthma Management
Helping children breathe easier and live better with personalised allergy care.
What We Offer
From hay fever to persistent wheezing, allergy symptoms can disrupt life. Dr Mahlaba identifies triggers and develops personalised treatment plans including medication, environment changes, and education.
Nutrition & Feeding Advice
Tailored guidance for fussy eaters, growth concerns, or special dietary needs.
What We Offer
Feeding issues are common. Whether it’s solids, weight concerns, or special diets, Dr Mahlaba offers practical advice that works in your family’s real-world context.
Chronic Conditions & Complex Care
Long-term care plans for children with ongoing medical needs.
What We Offer
Conditions like diabetes or epilepsy need regular monitoring. Dr Mahlaba coordinates care with specialists and families to ensure children receive the support they need, in body and mind.
Adolescent Health
Discreet and respectful care for teens navigating physical and emotional changes.
What We Offer
Teens need more than check-ups—they need trust. We offer care for puberty, mental health, skin issues, menstrual health, and more. Dr Mahlaba ensures both teens and caregivers feel heard.
Parent Consultations & Health Education
One-on-one time with Dr. Mahlaba to ask questions and get clarity.
What We Offer
Some visits aren’t about illness—they’re about understanding. Whether it’s sleep routines, second opinions, or new diagnoses, Dr Mahlaba provides clear, compassionate answers to support confident parenting.
Hospital Admissions & NICU Care
Coordinated hospital care and neonatal support when your child needs it most.
What We Offer
If your child requires hospitalisation, Dr. Mahlaba provides in-hospital management at Mediclinic Newcastle. This includes neonatal intensive care (NICU) and ongoing medical supervision to ensure seamless, trusted care from clinic to hospital.
Newborn Postnatal Checks
Gentle newborn care after birth—monitoring, feeding, and early screening.
What We Offer
Dr. Mahlaba attends to newborns shortly after delivery, whether by caesarean or natural birth. She performs essential postnatal checks, ensures baby is feeding well, and supports parents through those first important days.
