NEET-SS Pediatrics: Important Topics

We understand the significance of setting realistic targets, and we also know that you can’t study and retain every topic for a given subject. At this stage of your NEET-SS preparation, you need your checklists more than ever before to ensure that you don’t miss out on any important topic. The NEET-SS Dream Team at Prepladder has compiled a list of important Pediatrics topics so that you don’t have to spend hours enlisting those.
