Paediatric Medical Kit
The Paediatric Medical Kit is specifically designed for the treatment of children, providing essential medicines and equipment tailored to their needs. Children require different medical care than adults, with smaller doses of medication and, in many cases, syrups or liquid formulations to make them easier to administer. This kit offers everything needed to manage minor medical issues and stabilise sick or injured children until professional help can be accessed.
Suitable for
The Paediatric Medical Kit is ideal for vessels that may have children on board or those operating in areas where children are part of the crew or passengers. It is particularly beneficial for treating children under 12 years old, although the specific age and size of the child should be taken into account when administering treatment. This kit is not a stand-alone solution but is intended to be used alongside commercial or non-commercial medical kits such as MCA kits or the Distant Ocean Medical Kit.
