4^th European Congress on Pediatrics and Neonatology

The word Pediatrics is derived from two Greek words: (pais = child) and (iatros = doctor or healer). Pediatrics means “healer of children” and this is a relatively new medical specialty, developing only in the mid-19th century. Abraham Jacobi (1830–1919) is known as the father of Pediatrics.

Clinical Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatricians are specially trained physicians who take care of children from age of new born to 18 years.
