description Through a case study of a child with cystic fibrosis, the interactions among various domains of health have been discussed—namely, biomedical, physical, psychological/behavioural, and social. In pediatrics, development is another key domain relevant to the management of a chronic disease.

Patient empowerment and parental education, as well as good co-ordination of health service delivery, are imperative to holistic patient care.
