Kidimed

Kidimed Associate paediatricians dr Johnny Lotter, dr Heinrich du Toit, and dr Liesl Venter practicing at Netcare Pretoria East Hospital in Pretoria East.

Kidimed paediatricians started off in 1999 as a single-doctor practice and has since grown to a practice of three paediatricians practicing in the east of Pretoria. Doctors Johnny Lotter, Heinrich du Toit, and Liesl Venter are associates working together to deliver a continuous service. Between the three of us, we have a collective experience of more than 40 years in paediatrics. We all have children of our own, which qualifies us well to be empathetic paediatricians! From attending the birth of your baby, to the healthy baby routine examinations, to attending to your child in the event that he/she should fall ill. We treat children from the day that they are born until 12 years of age. Specializing in child health, we provide expert neonatal care and general paediatrics. We work together with healthy baby clinics, general practitioners and emergency services, should your child need referral for specialized care.

🧬 What is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)?
It’s a rare genetic condition that weakens a baby’s muscles, making movement, feeding, and sometimes breathing difficult.

💡 At Kidimed, we believe early checks and awareness can change futures. The sooner SMA is identified, the sooner support and treatment can begin.

Mental Health is Health — Period
Motherhood is messy, beautiful — and sometimes, overwhelming.

💡 Check in with yourself:
💚Are you constantly irritable?
💚Feeling disconnected?
💚Can’t switch off the worry?

That’s not “just tired.” That could be a sign your mental health needs attention.
Talk to someone. A healthier you means a happier home.

Busting Vaccine Myths — For Good
🚫 MYTH: "Too many vaccines overwhelm my baby’s immune system."
✅ FACT: Babies encounter thousands of germs daily just from crawling, chewing, and exploring. Vaccines expose them to tiny, safe amounts — it’s nothing compared to a playground floor!

Vaccines strengthen the immune system, not weaken it.
Let’s stop misinformation and start conversations.
