Abstrakt: The authors of this toolkit focus on children under the age of 18 comprising approximately 41% of the total population in India. This toolkit has been created with an objective to prepare, mitigate the effects of any surge of COVID-19 in our communities, and help to optimally utilize the scarce resources. The toolkit design suggests the manpower, equipment, laboratory support, training, consumables, and drugs for a 10-bedded pediatric emergency room, 25-bedded COVID pediatric intensive care unit, and 75-bedded COVID pediatric high dependency unit/ward as defined for a 100-bedded facility. A dedicated and detailed chapter is included to address the psychological needs of the children. These data can be modified for other department sizes based on the facilities, needs, local environment, and resources available.
