In brief
After a diagnosis, a journey begins that we walk together. Your child grows, their needs change, medicine doses change with their weight, and they may need school support or new sessions. At follow-up we check their progress, adjust the plan when needed, and stay with you at every stage.
Overview
Regular follow-up lets us notice any change early, make sure your child is comfortable on their treatment, and keep everyone who helps them — at home, at school and at therapy — working to the same plan. And you are a key part of that team.

Frequently asked questions
How often does my child need follow-up?
It differs for each child. The doctor sets the next visit at the end of every appointment.
I can’t make it. What should I do?
Cancel or change it on the request page with your reference and tracking code, so another child can use the slot.
Can follow-up be online?
For some stable children, especially those living outside Egypt, with an in-person visit when we need to examine.
Can you write reports for school?
Yes, just ask for it during the visit.
