La pediatría también sufre las enfermedades crónicas, los niños con problemas de hiperactividad, retraso... Hay que tenerlos en cuenta

Creo que el excelente esfuerzo de OPIMEC se enriquecería con el abordaje de las ECC de la infancia. Algunos pediatras estamos trabajando la pluripatología y las comorbilidades en Pediatría, e incursionando en la relación que tiene estas con las ECNT del adulto.
