Despite the benefits, early diagnosis in pediatrics faces several challenges. These include:
Limited Access to Healthcare: Not all families have equal access to healthcare resources, affecting the timely screening and diagnosis of conditions. Variability in Presentation: Many conditions have symptoms that overlap with normal developmental variations or other disorders, complicating diagnosis. Lack of Awareness: Some parents and caregivers may not be fully informed about the importance of early diagnosis or the signs and symptoms to watch for.
