Pediatric Care

A toddler admitted to Hospital Escuela in Tegucigalpa with fever developed severe complications after receiving phenytoin intravenously, resulting in purple discoloration and potential loss of his left arm; hospital officials say a hyperbaric specialist will evaluate whether the limb can be saved.

The Honduran government and World Pediatrics agreed to pursue a cooperation accord aimed at speeding complex children's surgeries, securing medical supplies, and strengthening public hospital capacity.
