Text
The burden of congenital conditions needing surgery in low- and middle-income countries is great. Access to timely and affordable surgery often is challenging. Congenital malformations even treated with adequate surgery often need long-term follow up and may impair quality of life. This talk gives an overview of long-term quality of life implications of typical paediatric surgical conditions with a special focus on circumstances in LMICs.
