“Due their sensitive biology and as they are still in the developmental stage, young children require specialized care and attention. In India there is still a gap area when it comes to comprehensive pediatric care centers which cater to niche childhood health concerns, given the substantial burden of children suffering from various issues from simple common cold to complex liver transplant” said Dr. Chetan Ginigeri, Lead Consultant, Paediatrics and Paediatric Intensive Care, Aster Hospitals.
According to reports, India also suffers from a growing incidence of children suffering from the pre-cursors of non-communicable or lifestyle diseases such as obesity, hypertension, etc which must be identified and treated early in order to produce a healthy and thriving generation of youth for the future.
