About 'Childrenzone' and announcing the Single Antigen Vaccines Initiative (SAVI)

We would like to welcome you to the services and information offered by 'Childrenzone'. This is the child-health clinic run by Dr. D. D. Ratnasinghe as part of his private practice. He is a Consultant Paediatrician working in the NHS. It must be emphasized that this service is offered by him in a private capacity and is in no way connected to or supported by the NHS. All our clinical processes and procedures are under his direct supervision. Dr. Ratnasinghe is registered as a Specialist Paediatrician and regulated by the General Medical Council. He is also registered as the data protection officer under the Data Protection Act. He holds insurance cover through the Medical Defence Union. His high standards of personalised service, attention to detail and belief in enabling informed choices have shaped the quality of our care pathways.

Our services include paediatric clinics and a range of childhood vaccinations as well as the separate measles, mumps and rubella vaccination programme. The latter are alternatives to the NHS immunisations. We have identified the single MMR programme as the "Single Antigen Vaccines Initiative" or SAVI.
