We are privileged to offer this exclusive programme to a select group of paediatricians and health care professionals from around the globe. Our world today is faster-paced and more dynamic than ever before. The scientific and medical communities are no exception, with cutting-edge technologies and new scientific discoveries advancing at an unprecedented rate. This has enormous implications for improving the health and wellbeing of children globally. As paediatricians in practice, the need to remain up-to-date on the latest guidelines and recommendations is essential. However, the time investment required is often a strong limiting factor.
