Do premature infants need physical examinations?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature infant. I want to know if premature infants need to undergo a comprehensive health check-up at a large hospital now?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, we conduct regular growth and development assessments here for premature infants and newborns. Under the guidance of doctors, children receive training in areas where they are lacking. I don't think the comprehensive health check you mentioned is a blind examination of the children. After the doctor's examination, selective tests can be chosen. For example, liver function tests, electroencephalograms, and brain CT scans. I think it's necessary to review them. Wishing your baby good health.
