A motivating, exciting, informative and stimulating symposium about the collaboration between the children's ward of the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, Malawi & the Emma Children's Hospital, Amsterdam UMC.
The Amsterdam Center for Global Child Health of Amsterdam UMC is organizing an informative and enthusing Symposium for the third time in collaboration with the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences. This year's Symposium is about Accidents & Emergency (A&E) at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, sharing clinical cases and success stories. During the presentations, similarities and differences in the care of sick children in both settings are highlighted. The success of the new High Dependency Unit (HDU) is also highlighted, to which attention will be paid in 2021.
The programme:
- Opening by dr. Yamikani Chimalizeni (head of children's department KUHeS) and Prof. dr. Willem de Vries (Head of Emma Children's Hospital, Amsterdam UMC)
- Clinical case, ''a child with reduced consciousness in A&E''
- A&E: pictures, data and interviews: How can we help from the Amsterdam side?
- Success story from the new High Dependency Unit: a patient that would not have survived without the new HDU
