Ambulatory Paediatrics

I attended the 32nd Malaysian Paediatric Association congress in Kuala Lumpur from 15 to 17 October 2010. This year theme is Ambulatory Paediatrics. I totally agree with what the President, Professor Zabidi Hussin (please click to view his blog), said:

"... provide expertise within a larger community-based setting... Children are certainly best looked after in their own homes at all times and more so when they are sick."

Some interesting topics include:

• Identifying and Managing Sleep Problems in Infants
• Snoring in Chidren
• Assessment of Nutrition in Children
• Practice and Malpractice in complementary feeding in early childhood
• Nocturnal enuresis
• Food allergy in children

As a children doctor, I strive to give the best possible medical care and as far as possible, to allow children to stay at their home en route to recovery.
