In a pediatric medicine conference hosted by Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York-Presbyterian and Columbia University Medical Center two years ago, conference course director Dr. Mitchell Cairo highlighted the remarkable innovations in pediatrics in the last 10 years: “Medical breakthroughs have greatly increased the range of treatment options for pediatric diseases… in the last decade, biomedical and research breakthroughs have helped transform the care of children, improving diagnosis and treatment for numerous diseases.”
The advances in pediatric care in the past years, particularly in genetics and stem cell therapy, have indeed helped pediatric experts provide better healthcare for children and adolescents. In the Philippines, the advent of such innovative pediatric care and treatment has given Filipino physicians more reasons to elevate their practice and pediatric experts at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center continue to stay on guard to ensure that Filipino children and adolescents benefit from the medical discoveries and innovations in pursuit of longer, healthier lives.
“We continue to inform the public, more importantly our doctors of the latest in pediatric care through lectures, lay for and CME programs to ensure that Asian Hospital and Medical Center doctors as well-equipped with updated medical literature, diagnostic and treatment procedures in pediatric medicine,” related Dr. Arneil Suratos, chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center.
In line with its commitment to educate doctors and the public on the latest in pediatric care, a scientific forum titled “Pediatric Advances – From Birth to Adolescence” will be held for medical practitioners on November 18, 2010, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Conference Facility Unit of the Asian Hospital and Medical Center.
The forum hosted by the Department of Pediatrics will feature pediatric experts who will share their knowledge and expertise on such topics as Preventive Pediatric Care, Screening for Adolescents at Risk, and Managing Common Pediatric Problems.
“We aim to provide an in-depth discussion to help medical practitioners understand and include in their practice such pediatric innovations for better diagnosis and treatment of their patients,” added Dr. Suratos.
The scientific forum offers limited slots only. Registration fee is at P200. For more information and pre-registration, call Ricky Alon-Alon at 771-9000 local 8202. Visit www.asianhospital.com for more information.
