I just gave birth and was thinking of getting my baby vaccinated at a Polyclinic. Other than vaccinations, do I need to bring my newborn for regular checkups with a paediatrician?

No need. Standard vaccinations at polyclinics are free, and the waiting times are usually pretty decent. They also do developmental assessments, and can see kids for usual sicknesses. If there’s anything the polyclinic doctor feel he cannot address, he can make a referral or recommend for you to see a pediatrician
