Her training has molded her to be in a continuous pursuit to provide premium health care for every Filipino child despite limitations in resources. The review aims to provide evidence to decrease infection rates in the critically ill and to provide a spring board towards the development of similar trials for the pediatric population that may offer recommendations to be implemented in tertiary hospitals of developing countries.
