HISTORY OF ADOLESCENT MEDICINE AS A SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC

Abstract

A historical and literature review providing insight into the development of adolescent medicine as a discipline in the Kyrgyz Republic was conducted. In addition, the paper presents the scientific research results considering how to solve urgent health problems in children and adolescents. The research was carried out by adolescent medicine specialists and postgraduate students over the years. A fundamental contribution to the field of adolescent medicine was made by Associate Professors B.M. Mamytov and R.A. Nedviga. In the post-world-war II period, the research was focused primarily on studying nurturing and educational environments, as well as assessing the health status of children and adolescents. However, in recent years, scientific work on providing students with proper nutrition in various educational institutions has become particularly relevant.
