TPA addresses limited access for children and young people to paediatric sub-specialists in countries where there are both a higher burden of diseases and limited resources. TPA offers a smart, scalable, sustainable solution.
The impact of COVID-19 led to the establishment of a successful telehealth project providing high-level technical assistance to build human resource capacity in paediatric care. This includes:
