Exploring Diagnostic Excellence: Miss Lydia Munn Ying Chang at #PediatricsUCG 2025

We are honored to welcome Miss Lydia Munn Ying Chang, a Core Surgical Trainee at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, as one of the distinguished speakers at the 4th World Pediatrics, Perinatology & Child Health Summit, taking place from October 21–23, 2025, at Novotel Al Barsha, Dubai, UAE.

Introduction

Miss Lydia Munn Ying Chang brings a unique and valuable perspective to the global pediatric community. With a strong clinical background in surgical training and a focused interest in pediatric cardiology, she will present a compelling talk on:
“Diagnostic Value of Jones Criteria in Paediatric Rheumatic Heart Disease Patients Requiring Mitral Valve Repair.”

Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) continues to be a major cause of acquired heart disease in children worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical to improving outcomes, and Miss Chang’s presentation will delve into how the Jones Criteria remains a vital tool in identifying cases requiring surgical intervention, especially mitral valve repair.

Benefits of Her Research

Miss Chang's research explores the practical application of clinical diagnostic frameworks in real-world pediatric cardiac cases. Attendees will gain:

A clearer understanding of how the Jones Criteria is used to diagnose RHD in complex pediatric cases.
Insights into surgical decision-making for mitral valve repair in young patients.
Appreciation for evidence-based approaches that bridge the gap between diagnosis and operative care.
A chance to learn from real case reviews and clinical outcomes from Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, a leading UK institution.

Her session is especially valuable for pediatricians, pediatric cardiologists, surgeons, and healthcare professionals engaged in child cardiac care and global health.
