OPENPediatrics’ web-based platform for teaching, exchanging ideas, and sharing best practices in pediatric care is used in 80 countries on six continents. The network has not only broken down the borders between specialty hospitals and remote caregivers, and between disciplines of medicine, but also between political boundaries, affluence and poverty, and even between doctors, nurses and community health workers who all contribute to the platform. The community of practitioners hopes that OPENPediatrics can significantly reduce the death rate among children worldwide.
