Training in pediatric infectious disease: Need of the time 2013-05-25 .txt text/plain 714 47 52 The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 17% of total mortality in children less than 5 years of age is due to vaccine preventable diseases. This could facilitate clinicians, researchers and academicians to intensely understand and be involved in surveillance, policy making, program implementation on infections that directly contribute to morbidity and mortality in children, including new and emerging infections like SARS, H1N1 influenza, dengue, and infectious diarrhea. Professionally-oriented training and education in pediatric infectious diseases is the 'need of the hour' and should be implemented on a "war footing" to achieve global health. I therefore, strongly feel that such a course will be useful not only for individuals interested in expanding their knowledge of the techniques available for analyzing and interpreting epidemiological data on infectious diseases, but also for the world and for India to achieve the goal of "health for all". ./cache/cord-021082-a1jsbunw.txt ./txt/cord-021082-a1jsbunw.txt
