Social economic crisis and decreased level of life tell on the health status of children. As primary health centers, pediatric outpatient clinics play the main role in the formation of healthy life style and rendering medicosocial care.

A draft program of restructuring local pediatric services is offered with consideration for modern social and economic problems.
