Western Ukrainian Specialized Children's Medical Center

The center was formed in 1990 by the decision of the 1st democratic convocation of the Lviv Regional Council and up to the year 2009 bore the name of Lviv Regional Specialized Children’s Hospital. At that time, provision of help to children who suffered the Chernobyl disaster and other ecological hazards was the priority of the institution. Together with solving difficult pediatric problems the center steadily developed its main specialized areas of activity: toxicology, pediatric cancer and hematology, clinical immunology, non-invasive cardiology, rheumatology, pulmonology, endocrinology, plastic and laser surgery, severe neurological disorders, treatment of acute and chronic renal failure as well as treatment of other severe rare chronic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and malabsorption syndrome.
