Pediatric Internal Diseases Clinic is a highly specialized institution which deals with diagnostics and treatment of diseases in childhood. About 3 700 patients are treated at this clinic annually with an average lenght of stay of 8.3 days. The number of specialist examinations performed per year is 26 000 and the number of outpatient services is 52 000.

The beginning of pediatric service in Niš is related to the period between the two wars, more precisely, to the year 1927, when the Hygienic Institute formed the School Polyclinic. Two years later, the Health Center established the Pediatric Dispensary. However, children requiring hospitalization were still treated along with adult patients. Pediatric Department was formed in 1946, the head of which was Jordan Tomić, MD. The department had 2 doctors, 28 paramedics and 2 hygienists.

With the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine in Niš in 1961, the Pediatric Department became a teaching center. The Pediatric Internal Diseases Clinic was formed in 1971 with Borivoje Ćosić as its director. Three years later it was unified with Pediatric Surgical Clinic and Pediatric Dispensary and continued its independent work under the guidance of Radoslav Živić, MD, PhD.

Pediatric Internal Diseases Clinic offers the services of diagnosis and treatment of disordes in childhood in the field of neonatology, cardiology, pulmonology, nephrology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, hematology, oncology, neurology, immunology and allergology.
