About

This document is a guide for hospitals to handle large numbers of sick children during emergencies. It describes how hospitals without specialized pediatric units can prepare and respond effectively. The plan includes steps for organizing staff, using available resources, and setting up temporary care areas. It also covers communication strategies with families and other healthcare facilities to ensure children's safety and well-being during disasters. The goal is to provide the best possible care when there are more patients than usual in a crisis situation.
