Global
launch of Child Watch
..........................................................................................................................
Child
Watch is an initiative of the Middle East Journal
of Family Medicine and was originally formed to
assist Iraqi children who are suffering greatly
from lack of medical resources and child size
devices, as well as the psychological aspects
of prolonged warfare.
Since then we find that many
of the problems extend to the rest of the Middle
East region and indeed the world. There is also
a lack of focus globally on child-specific aspects
of many medical conditions.
We are taking therefore both
an academic and a practical approach to child
health. We welcome articles on any topic related
to aspects of child health and we also hope to
provide practical assistance where possible.
Our first donation has been
received from Mr Andrew Currie, of Melbourne,
Australia, specifically to assist institutionalized
blind girls of Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and we thank
Mr Currie for his own initiative.
Please send articles or assistance,
to publisher@mejfm.com.
We also welcome your ideas
and your advice about effective programs in your
own country or region.
I thank you all for supporting
this initiative.
