The existing system of medical care for children does not allow increasing the volume and improving the quality of the district doctor's work in raising a healthy child, despite the availability in each territorial children's clinic of specially created and equipped rooms (rooms) for healthy children and dedicated nursing staff for this purpose. An analysis of the work of the district pediatrician, carried out by employees of the Gorky Research Institute of Pediatrics of the RF Ministry of Health, showed that the doctor has to spend the bulk of his working time treating sick children. Healthy children are treated by a doctor for only 27.4% of his working time. During periods of increased morbidity, the amount of work with healthy children is reduced to a minimum.
