Institute of Pediatrics

Modern pediatrics is a science that combines all stages of

medical care: from infancy to childhood, youth, young

age. Pediatrics forms the basis of human health and

social activity. A pediatrician is a professional who

understands the physiological processes of the

formation of a child, the maturation of organs and

systems, the risks of developing diseases and their timely prevention.

 

Timely, correct, high-tech diagnosis of diseases and

treatment of a child in accordance with modern Russian

standards and best foreign practices is a priority in

teaching at the Institute of Pediatrics. Over the years of

work, more than 6,000 pediatricians have graduated

from Samara State Medical University.
