A survey of work undertaken in 1 year by a medical officer working in a maternal and child health clinic in Hong Kong: implications for training.
A survey of child health work undertaken in 1 year by a medical officer in a typical maternal and child health (MCH) clinic in Hong Kong is reported. The wide spectrum of physical and developmental problems encountered by the MCH doctor demands sound knowledge of basic paediatrics and normal human development. The need for a comprehensive training programme in child health is highlighted.
