Certificate of Proficiency in Basics of Pediatric Covid-19 Management

The WHO estimates an average mortality rate of 3.4%, which is around 100 times higher than flu — but do note that the average is across age brackets. Current evidence suggests that the fatality rate from Covid-19 ranges from 9% to 19% for older individuals, as well as for people with conditions such as cardiovascular disease, Diabetes, and Cancer and those who are Immunocompromised.

COVID in children is also causing major social issues leading to an increase in mortality and morbidity. COVID infection in children can range from asymptomatic infection to severe respiratory distress leading to death. In children presenting with severe respiratory symptoms, especially for patients without a specific etiological diagnosis and those with underlying comorbidities, these risk factors should be considered for diagnosis and treatment. This course provides you with the basics of COVID -19, different cases of COVID in children, their clinical symptoms, variations in clinical symptoms in different cases, their management, and a lot more to upgrade your knowledge to the next level.
