Editorial Pediatric healthcare service for as a part of Indonesian future Lothar Matheus Manson Vanende Silalahi 1 1 Faculty of Medicine Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana, Yogyakarta, Indonesia Corresponding author — lothar@staf.ukdw.ac.id Continuing and accelerating child health are issues stated in Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by United Na- tion (UN). Targets in improving child health in SDG are by decreasing neonatal and pediatric mortality. Reducing risk and prevention of neonatal mortality may be achieved by monitoring intrauterine fetal development. High burden of pediatric mortality may be seen in pediatric genetic, neo- plasm and infectious disease. In this COVID-19 pandemic era, SARS-CoV 2 infection in children add more chal- lenge in improving child health. In this issue, we proudly present articles on pediatric genetic, neoplasm and infec- tious disease especially in clinical manifestation, diagnos- tic and therapeutic challenge. Fetal weight is one parameter in monitoring intrauter- ine fetal development. Many techniques available to es- timate fetal weight, and ultrasonography technique has been widely used. One limitation using ultrasonography is limited access especially in rural area in Indonesia. Pa- pilaya 1 reviews alternative growth chart for estimated fe- tal weight in the absence of ultrasound. This book review may help physician to monitor intrauterine growth in the setting of limited access to ultrasound. Pediatric genetic disease and syndrome is still challenge in the feld of medicine. Sarwono describes Sturge Weber Syndrome case as one of congenital pediatric disease. 2 This report may be interesting because its manifestation as a stroke-syndrome. Comprehensive review of this case re- port gives physician insight more in pediatric genetic syn- drome that may manifest as a common medical problem. In this COVID-19 pandemic era, we may face COVID-19 in patient with other comorbidities. While children with COVID-19 cases in Indonesia is increas- ing recently, Saputra 3 reports a child infected with SARS- COV2, cooccurrence with lung and bone neoplasm. This case report gives physician concern that we may face other comorbidities while treating children with COVID-19 as we may see in adult cases. Cerebrospinal fuid analysis remains a gold standard in diagnosing central nervous system infection. Rianto re- ports the additional utilization of brain imaging in diagnos- ing pediatric central nervous system infection. In pediatric settings there may be difculties in obtaining cerebrospi- nal fuid specimen and it takes more time for the result. Brain imaging may help physician in diagnosing central nervous infection while waiting the result of cerebrospi- nal fuid analysis. 4 This report also gives information to physician about the sign that support central nervous in- fection in brain imaging. One of the key factors that have a role in the future of nation is the quality of the children development. The quality of the children will greatly infuenced by systems that support child health.
