WHO determines that life, survival, maximum development, children's access to health services is not only their basic needs but also basic human rights.

The health of the children’s population is an indicator of social, economic and cultural development of any country in the world. In modern terms the situation observed in the development of children is a part of a demographic crisis, characterized by deterioration of not only quantitative but also qualitative characteristics of the population, including the growing problem of children's health.

These directions include the development of preventive measures, the construction of new structural health care units, national and regional epidemiological and clinical studies resulting in future tracing and monitoring the situation of the most urgent problems of pediatrics.
