To treat a child, especially in cases of an urgent condition, a multidisciplinary team of doctors including up to 30 different specialists is needed. Among them are various surgeons, intensivists, diagnostic service professionals, rehabilitation therapists, and so on. If at least one link is removed from this chain, the effectiveness of the treatment will be noticeably lower.
