Austrian Society for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine / Osterreichischen Gesellschaft fur Kinder- und Jugendheilkunde (OGKJ)

The Austrian Society for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, is an association with over 2,000 doctors for pediatrics and adolescent medicine, both from the private practice and the hospital sector.

Their tasks are the promotion of research and teaching activities, good technical training, and the professional further training of specialists in paediatrics and youth medicine. They are also the point of contact for health policy issues for children and young people and their families and are committed to their well-being. It is also very important to us that Their patients receive the best possible care, including their families, both in the private practice area and in the graded inpatient care of children and young people. It is important to us to maintain a good exchange with professional societies in other countries and to coordinate internationally.

The OGKJ has set up working groups and departments for this purpose and cooperates with various partners and specialist societies (see organizational chart ). They see themselves as part of the health network for children and young people and invite you to find out more on Their homepage. They would like to give parents a special welcome and provide them with special information. In this regard, They would like to refer to " Paediatricians on the Net" .
