Abstract
Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Surgery is an official Journal of The Association of Paediatric Surgeons of Pakistan (APSP). This is a peer reviewed and open access hybrid medium journal and is published both as an electronic and print versions. The journal is launched in June 2020 with a mission statement “Improving patient care by publishing quality research”. The journal has a unique objective to not only focus Pediatric Surgery but also Adolescent Surgery, which is a transition of care from Pediatric Surgeons to General surgeons. Only few journals are being published on Adolescent Surgery and not a single journal aims at Pediatric Surgery with Adolescent context, which justifies need of a new journal on this subject.
