A Review on the Clinical Guidelines to Pediatric Pneumonia and Assessment of the Extent to which these Guidelines are Followed in Pakistan
Pneumonia is a respiratory disease that can be life-threatening when worsened or not treated properly. There are various standard guidelines, including WHO guidelines for the management of Pneumonia, for both children and adults as well as for the geriatric patients, based upon individualized therapy to each patient. These guidelines ensure the rational use of medications so as to target and achieve definite patient outcomes. Further reading will take towards such standard guidelines specifically for the management of paediatric Pneumonia and will assess the extent to which the stated guidelines are followed in different areas of Pakistan. Moreover, this review article will also emphasize the gaps that lead to irrational use of the medications in Pakistan and will highlight the strategies and plans that can be adopted at community and national levels to implement rational drug use for direct patient care and definite patient outcomes.
