An eminent scientist named Abraham Jacobi (1830–1919) has been considering as the father of pediatrics because of his more number of contributions to this field. The medical branch of pediatrics has emerged into different branches like pediatric oncology, pediatric immunology, pediatric cardiology, pediatric critical care, pediatric dermatology, etc. Pediatrics is playing major role by saving lives of many children who will play major role in the future world.
