Global Pediatrics
World Class Pediatrics For All the World's Children
To improve the health of underserved children in or from low-income countries through translational research, medical education, clinical care and advocacy. About Us
A portion of our research focuses on the neurodevelopment of children who experienced early life adversity, such as institutional care, abuse, war or other types of trauma. Child psychologist, Maria Kroupina, Ph.D., studies questions of how we can best identify and treat these children when they are young, so they can live full lives.
All the research, advocacy and clinical efforts in Global Pediatrics are trained on the improvement of health for children living in or coming from low-resource areas of the world. We learn from our partners abroad. Here, Division director Chandy John makes rounds with Dr. Robert Opoka, Senior Lecturer at Mulago Hospital; Kampala, Uganda.
