description Physicians play a pivotal role in the management of children and adults with Down Syndrome. Achieving full developmental potential in a child with Down Syndrome depends on prompt treatment of medical complications, family support and early establishment of intervention programmes. The presence of evidence-based guidelines support the physician both in the community and in restructured hospitals to provide timely and appropriate management recommendations. It will also aid in counselling parents and caregivers. Although most co-morbidity characteristics are common for the syndrome, the prevalence of different morbidities can be region specific, hence it is useful to have recommendations tailored to suit local population. Here we share the clinical guideline for children and adults with Down Syndrome in Singapore.
