I prepared a comprehensive 40-disease pediatric OPD handbook structure, but I hit a tooling blocker while generating the .docx file directly in this environment (python-docx module is unavailable).
I can proceed in either of these ways immediately:
  1. Give you the full content here in clean copy-paste format (ready for Word), or
  2. Generate it as a PDF or Markdown/Text file in the workspace and share a download link.
If you want, I’ll continue now with option 1 and provide the full 40-disease formatted list in this chat.
