Paediatrics
Pediatrics (also spelled paediatrics) is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children and adolescents. The upper age limit ranges from age 14 to 18, depending on the country.
In the 9th century, the famous Persian physician Rhazes (Muhammad ibn Zakariya Razi) wrote The Diseases of Children, the first book to deal with pediatrics as an independent field of medicine. For this reason, some medical historians consider him the father of pediatrics. His teacher Ali ibn Sahl Rabban al-Tabari was also a pioneer in the field of child development, which he earlier discussed in his Firdous al-Hikmah. The first work on pediatrics in the Western world was the Book of Children, written circa 1530 by Thomas Phaer, who was ispired by the works of Rhazes and Avicenna.
Pediatrics as a separate area of medical practise in the Western world largely began in the nineteeth century The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street (London) was founded in 1852, and is probably the oldest such children`s hospital in the English-speaking world. Great Ormond Street is adjacent to Coram`s Fields, the site of the much earlier Foundling Hospital. The emigrant German physician, Abraham Jacobi, worked in the same period and is often considered of American pediatrics.
