| (CANCELLED) The Role of Non-Profit Organizations in Improving Pediatric Health Care around the World |
| PAS Topic Symposium |
| Baltimore Convention Center ~ |
| |
| Target Audience: General pediatricians and others interested in international health care and delivery systems. In addition, those with additional skills in the management of post cardiac surgical care will find opportunities to help educate those in emerging countries who care for these critically ill patients. Those who care for children with chronic medical conditions will learn about the role of therapeutic camps and the benefits that children and families can receive from such an experience. The role of the pediatrician as the team physician on complex surgical trips will be discussed (focusing on pre-operative screening, post-surgical pain and symptom management). Finally, a discussion about funding these very important activities will occur. |
| |
| Objectives:
- The role that non-profits may play in improving health care delivery to the less fortunate
- How one can become involved in working with these organizations to improve care for children
- Understand the various funding tools required to support these very important programs |
| |
| Chairs: Lorry R. Frankel, Lucille Packard Childrens Hospital, Reserve, NM and Tex Kasson, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada |
| |
| This session is aimed at informing those interested in international health and the vibrant roles that non-profit organizations may play in improving both pediatric medical and surgical care in impoverished areas. We will emphasize what the WHO is doing to improve outcomes from shock, the Gates Foundation and its role in maleria prophylaxis, Interplast and other surgical programs focused on reconstructive surgery for children, Heartlink an organization focused upon caring for children with congenital heart disease, and the role of medical camps for children who have experienced life-threatening conditions. |
