The Evolution of Pediatric Emergency Medicine in the Indian Scenario

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Paediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) in India has witnessed remarkable growth over the past two decades. Initially, emergencies involving children were predominantly managed by paediatricians and family physicians in homes, walk-in clinics, or general hospital settings. From these beginnings, PEM has evolved into a dynamic and specialized field, driven by dedicated physicians committed to improving access, training, and the quality of emergency care for children. With increasing recognition of the critical role of specialized paediatric emergency care, the field is set for continued expansion. This article offers an overview of the journey and development of PEM in India.
