A day in the life of a paediatric surgeon: a PAPSA research study

Conclusion: The spectrum of paediatric surgery differs between countries, in particular between LMICs and HICs. Units in LMICs tend to have a greater number of admissions, including a wider variety of conditions and a higher proportion of emergency work. Paediatric surgery in LMICs faces many challenges. This highlights the importance of training specialist paediatric surgeons in these countries. Further data are still needed to fully outline the burden of disease in paediatric surgery, especially in LMICs.
