Abstract:

The way in which health care is organized can influence the assistance to children. The Spanish Association of Pediatrics of Primary Care (AEPap) performs an analysis of different forms of care: area pediatrician, mixed public-private models, inter-level organizations and participation of primary care pediatricians as doctors on duty at the hospital, and provides possible improvement actions in each one of them.
