Rising demand and expectations for paediatric care have resulted in longer waiting lists, said the chairperson for the Paediatric Symposium 2023 on Sunday.
The symposium chairperson Dr Hajah Mawarni binti Abdul Hamid in her opening speech said that challenges in parenting faced by families have left less time for children.
She also noted that autism occurs in about one in 48 children, and the survival of pre-term and most critically-ill children are now expected rather than the exception.
