This three-day scientific forum attracted numerous reports and studies on topics including respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, hepatology, and nutrition. The first day included pre-conference continuous medical education (CME) sessions focused on Nutrition, Endocrinology, and Infectious Diseases. Key presentations covered topics like infection prevention in children, the essential role of vaccines, digestive health and hepatology, updates on new technologies in pediatric treatment aids, critical care, and optimizing infection prevention and treatment in the era of multidrug resistance.
At the conference, the organizers also held a “Young Researcher Presentation Contest” to give emerging researchers an occation to showcase their research skills and identify high-quality, practical projects that may lead to larger-scale studies in the future.
In his speech, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Minh Dien, Director of the National Children’s Hospital and President of the Vietnam Pediatrics Association, highlighted that pediatric disease patterns are becoming increasingly complex. Infectious and tropical diseases continue to exist, posing a risk of epidemic outbreaks, while non-communicable diseases are on the rise, creating challenges in hospital resource allocation.
The conference provides an opportunity for doctors to discuss and access evidence-based research and clinical procedures that can be effectively implemented in practice. Additionally, health administrators and leaders can gain a comprehensive and in-depth perspective on pediatrics, contributing to policy improvements that enhance the efficiency of child healthcare.
