چکیده
Although there have been several recent papers published on the results of day case surgery in children, little has been written on hospital-based day care for medical problems; in spite of this lack of information we believe many paediatric units provide this service. This paper describes our attempts to organize medical day cases on a general paediatric ward, and analyses some problems encountered. It is written in the hope that it will stimulate others to report their experience in this field.
