Evidenced Based Medical Care of Hospitalized Children with Local Adaptations in Low-Resource Settings
In this edition of Frontiers in Pediatrics, authors will discuss a wide-variety of pediatric diseases which often lead to severe Illnesses and hospitalizations for children in low-resource settings including certain populations in high-income countries such as Native Americans/Alaskan Natives, refugees, and immigrants. We will focus on the current management in those settings including recent updates, looking at adaptations of care when appropriate. We will attempt to discuss the most common diseases seen in the majority world where at least 80-90% of pediatric deaths occur.
Technologies for Neonatal Care in LMICs
Newborn babies are arguably the most vulnerable class of patients in any society. They are entirely incapable of surviving on their own without external help from carers and society. A poorly attended newborn will more likely die than one who received well-guided and knowledgeable care. Therefore, the neonatal mortality rate of any society represents a quick measure of the efficiency of its healthcare system, available technologies, and knowledge base. It is common knowledge that low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) contribute over 80% of the global annual burden of neonatal deaths. Limited access to sustainable technologies for neonatal care is one of the major impediments to lowering neonatal mortality in LMICs. Highly sophisticated technologies as applied in high-income countries (HICs) may be unaffordable and unsustainable at LMICs, however, a well-crafted basic technology may be appreciably effective in lifesaving, affordable, and easily maintainable by the indigenous people. The promotion, adaptation, implementation, and scale-up of such appropriate technologies by other LMICs could offer them the quickest route to better neonatal survival.
