The Light
Initiative by Sri Lanka College of Paediatrician

Medical Professionals

For medical professionals, including Paediatricians, medical officers, nursing officers, and midwives, we offer information on practical management strategies in the local context, drug doses, reference values, sample collection methods for special investigations, clinic information, and ICU bed availability. The material is presented in a simple and readable format, making it accessible even to trainees in relevant fields. Additionally, we have uploaded videos of the latest educational events organized by the SLCP.

Parents

For parents, we address the lack of reliable information applicable in the local context. Every parent wants to know how to raise their child to be the best and how to care for them during illness. Parents of children with chronic illnesses seek comprehensive information about their child's condition. Our section for parents provides this information in all three languages, along with details on resources available for specific diseases in Sri Lanka.

Content

The material is prepared by experts in the relevant fields and is peer-reviewed for accuracy and appropriateness whenever possible. We believe that providing accurate, practical, and current information is crucial for both professionals and parents to deliver optimal care to the children of Sri Lanka.
