Welcome to our community of practitioners, researchers, and others, who have an interest in, and are contributing to, the body of science about COVID-19 in children. Although it seems at this point that COVID-19 has a less severe impact on the children, it is equally true that our understanding and treatment of the virus in children are in its infancy. One sick child is one too many, and we need to harness our understanding and treatment of the disease in children.
Purpose
This website therefore aims to promote the collaboration and sharing of resources and knowledge, specifically related to COVID-19 in children, amongst:
- South African clinicians working in child health and paediatrics;
- Researchers working in maternal and child health; and
- Virologists and epidemiologists interested in the epidemiology of COVID-19 in children.
We will be sharing information and contact details of the following:
- Research projects
- The latest research evidence
- Reports from the World Health Organisation and relevant institutions
- Funding opportunities
- Diagnostic and treatment guidelines
