Introduction: Growing Healthy from the Start

In Marbella, having a trusted pediatric service is essential for both local and international families. At German Clinic Marbella, our Pediatric Unit offers a comprehensive approach to children’s health, not only treating illness but also anticipating potential issues through regular check-ups and developmental monitoring.

With developmental assessments, ultrasound scans, vaccination control and nutritional advice, we ensure every child grows strong, confident, and well-cared for.

What Do Our Regular Check-ups Include?

Pediatric check-ups consist of scheduled visits that assess growth, development, detect disorders early and provide timely interventions. At German Clinic Marbella, we pay special attention to:

  • Preventive check-ups U1 to U11: from birth to 11 years of age.

  • Youth health check-ups J1 and J2: for teenagers, evaluating health, development and risk factors.

  • Diagnostic ultrasounds: hip screening, kidney, heart (echocardiography), and brain ultrasound when indicated.

  • Vision and hearing tests: early detection of alterations that could affect learning or development.

  • Vaccination and preventive medicine: following updated calendars adapted for international families.

  • Nutritional advice, breastfeeding guidance and healthy lifestyle counseling: key foundations for children’s well-being.

Why Are Regular Check-ups So Important?

  • They detect early signs of growth or developmental issues that may otherwise go unnoticed.

  • They enable early intervention, improving outcomes and preventing complications.

  • They offer a safe space for parents to ask about nutrition, sleep, behavior, vaccines or travel.

  • Ongoing pediatric care — from infancy through adolescence — builds a complete medical history, improving follow-up and continuity.

Our Approach at German Clinic Marbella

  • Multilingual care: Spanish, English and German — tailored to Marbella’s international community.

Tips for Your Child’s Check-up

  1. Bring your child’s vaccination record and any previous reports.

  2. Prepare a list of questions or symptoms to discuss (sleep, appetite, behavior, growth).

  3. Remember: a check-up is not just for illness — it’s for staying healthy.

  4. Use the opportunity to discuss healthy habits: diet, exercise, screen time, sleep hygiene.

  5. Ask about your child’s next developmental milestones to be prepared as a parent.
