Dear friends,
A warm welcome to join MDA's Scientific Conference 2008, to be held from 24 to 25 June 2008, with the theme Enhancing Competency in Dietary Management of Paediatrics.

The beginning of a life, paediatric is a very special and crucial stage in the lifespan. Growth can be normal, decelerated or accelerated. Children grow at different rates at different times. Incidences of failure-to-thrive can be multifactorial and early detection reduce risk of affecting physical, cognitive and mental development.

On another aspect, overnutrition leading to overweight / obesity, has become an increasing global challenge, as we see an increase of in Type 2 diabetes among young children. This is an uphill task for healthcare professionals, in addressing multidisciplinary approach within the realm of care, from medical, dietary, physical
activity, psychological, etc. Every child is unique, care need to be customised and individualised.

The touch of a child's hands is an opportunity to transmit health, care and love.
