What is Growth and Developmental Delays?
Growth and Developmental Delays is a condition in which children lag behind their peers in areas such as physical and motor skills, language development or social abilities. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including genetic factors, malnutrition, chronic diseases or environmental influences.

- Laboratory Tests: Blood tests and other diagnostic methods are used to investigate possible nutritional deficiencies or health problems.
