Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) due to a de novo ACTG2 mutation: A neonatal case report.

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is fundamental to delivering high-quality, patient-centred healthcare, as it fosters teamwork among professionals from diverse disciplines to address patient needs holistically (Schot, Tummers & Noordegraaf ). The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasises IPC as a critical practice for improving global healthcare outcomes, highlighting its role in reducing medical errors, enhancing efficiency and ensuring better patient experiences (Moghaddasi ). Studies from high-income countries demonstrate that integrating IPC into healthcare systems leads to improved clinical decision-making and better health outcomes (Reeves et al. ). Consequently, IPC has become a core competency in healthcare education, with growing emphasis on training future professionals to collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary teams. However, despite its proven benefits, IPC implementation varies across regions, particularly in resource-limited settings where structural and systemic barriers persist (Dow & Reeves ). Interprofessional collaboration has been widely integrated into the curricula of developed countries (high-income countries – HICs). While its integration in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is increasing but remains largely in the early, emerging or pilot stages (Neill et al. ). While HICs focus on strengthening established, often mandatory IPE programmes to manage chronic conditions and patient safety, LMIC implementation is frequently limited by resource constraints, rigid hierarchical structures and lack of faculty training (Sunguya et al. ). In daily practice, nurses frequently find themselves in coordinating roles that are often unrecognised formally.
