Welcome to the LKCMedicine Children’s Health Collection

 

“Children’s books provide enjoyment and education, informing children’s understanding of the world and their place in it. Books about going to the doctor are used both for entertainment and to help prepare children for forthcoming clinical encounters.” – (Rao and Smith, 2014)

 

About this collection

The Children’s Health Collection is currently located at the LKCMedicine Medical Library, Level 20 Clinical Sciences Building at the Novena Campus. The collection is strictly for reference only.
