Special Collections

In collaboration with ISSOP, the International Society for Social Pediatrics and Child Health BMJ Paediatrics Open and ISSOP, the International Society for Social Pediatrics and Child Health, are proud to present a special collection focused on ‘Young voices in the time of COVID-19’. This collection captures the experiences, needs and strengths of diverse populations of children and young people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection raises awareness around the experience of particular groups of children and young people who may be marginalised or disadvantaged and privilege the experiences of those from the majority world.

China has the second largest population of children and has made major advances in reducing child poverty and mortality. There are, however, still large numbers of disadvantaged children, especially in the Western rural areas of China. This Special Collection, 'Child Health in China', seeks to inform clinical practice and experiences and highlight ways in which continued child poverty and mortality can be reduced, and child health improved.
