About the Group

The International Child Health Review Collaboration is a multicentre project to deliver the evidence basis behind World Health Organisation guidelines for use by Paediatricians in Developing Countries.

The aim of the project is to produce concise and reproducible systematic reviews of the guidance contained in the publication:

WHO Pocket Book of Hospital Care for Children: Guidelines for the Management of Common Illnesses with Limited Resources

The collaboration is between:

the University of Edinburgh, Scotland,

the Centre of International Child Health, Melbourne University, Australia,

the Kenya Medical Research Institute, Nairobi, Kenya,

the Aga Khan University, Pakistan.

Institute of Child Health Burlo Garofolo, Trieste, Italy

The project includes systematic reviews on a number of important topics, incorporating diagnosis, therapeutics and surgical questions, outlining the evidence that exists on the subject and providing rapidly and easily accessible information for Paediatricians in limited resource settings.
