Several factors contribute to high patient volume in pediatric care:
Seasonal Illnesses: Infections like flu, RSV, and gastroenteritis are more common during certain seasons. Epidemics and Pandemics: Events like the COVID-19 pandemic can drastically increase patient numbers. Limited Healthcare Access: In some areas, there may be limited healthcare facilities, causing centralization of patients in available hospitals. Population Growth: Growing populations naturally result in more pediatric patients.
