Paediatria Croatica

Aims & Scope

In the inaugural 1956 issue of the journal, the editor Dr Feđa Fischer Sartorius outlined the journal's vision and objectives saying that the journal will publish original papers on the development, pathology, and health care of children from the prenatal period to their final biological, emotional and social maturity.

The journal continues this vision by publishing original research articles, clinical and laboratory observations, case reports and reviews of medical progress in pediatrics and child health.
