OFFICIAL TITLE

"Great things never came from comfort zone"

In early October we actually came out with different proposal title : THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES IN HTAA.

However,after much discussion among group members,we decided to take toll on new topic since this seems too clinical.(We also ask several lecturer upon this).As a full-time trainee it is quite hard and time consuming in order for us to obtain the specified data.

Looking back from this date,we are grateful that we picked this topic since there are so much to be discover and learnt from.Here we are,giving our best in completing this final year project.
