Home / About

Championing emergency care for every child.

The national community of professionals dedicated to the acutely ill and injured child — uniting frontline experience with academic rigour.

01 Our story

Because children deserve care built for them.

A child in crisis is not a small adult. Their airways, drug doses, physiology and fears are different — and so must be the care they receive. PEM Malaysia was formed to give paediatric emergency medicine a home: a place to set standards, train the next generation and speak with one voice for children.

We connect emergency physicians, paediatricians, fellows in training, nurses and allied health professionals across the country.

Everything must be tailored to the child.

  • Child-sized equipment & weight-based dosing
  • Family-centred, trauma-informed care
  • Pathways designed around paediatric physiology
  • Safeguarding built into every assessment
