Scientific work of the Department of Pediatrics №1 and Neonatology

The scientific activity of the staff of the department is focused on topical issues of modern pediatrics:

  • introduction of European and world criteria of developmental medicine, disease prevention at the stage of premorbid background formation;
  • improving the diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular disorders of newborns, children and adolescents in Kharkiv region on the basis of scientific research centers on the stratification of the most influential risk factors for their development in the pediatric population from perinatal to adolescence;
  • improving the prevention of disability, orphanhood, improving the quality of life of children and families, reducing the number and duration of hospitalizations;
  • prevention of interstitial and eponymous diseases of children in the population in Kharkiv region;
  • prevention of disorders of physical and sexual development of children, their quality of life, psychological and social adaptation, prevention of the risk of cardiovascular catastrophes in young and adulthood, reducing the number of hospitalizations in children and later adult life.

Given the basic directions scientific activity of the teaching staff of the department created scientific centers:

  1. SC of perinatal and pediatric cardiology:
