What would our world look like if we no longer had to worry about infectious childhood diseases? In this series, we’ll look at how we can eliminate the public health challenges that continue to plague us today and how far we are from that goal. Dr Sangeetha Siniah, Paediatric Infectious Diseases Consultant, speaks to us about the common infectious diseases that are still dangerous to children, and how we can do better to protect children.
