A paediatrician can become an entrepreneur by starting a child healthcare clinic, paediatric wellness centre, or vaccination and growth monitoring unit. By combining medical expertise with business skills, they can offer specialised services, such as newborn care, nutritional guidance, and teleconsultations. They may also develop children's health programmes or digital platforms.
