A brief interview with Kemi Ogundipe, MSF Child Health and Paediatric Adviser. This clip is to enhance visibility and accelrate conversations about MSF work in paediatrics health care.

Newborns, children and adolescents are the majority of the patients we treat worldwide. However, there is a lack of basic paediatric skills and a shortage of paediatric trained staff in MSF field projects. The MSF International Paediatric Working Group is addressing the gaps through a number of initiatives aimed at improving the quality of paediatric care in the field. The development of paediatric guidelines and the setup of paediatric training for MSF staff are examples of contributions to this cause. Despite these advances, demands for paediatric skills, knowledge and evidence-based practice are still high, leaving us with gaps to address.
