Currently, we have 25 paediatric intensivists registered in the National Specialist Registry, and this number is continuing to increase. With the growing number and complexity of critically ill paediatric patients in the country, there is an urgent need for paediatric intensivists to come together, form a representative group, and standardise critical care clinical services to improve clinical outcomes through educational activities, including courses, workshops, conferences, research, and networking
