It also includes activities of:
- Health promotion.

Primary care for children
The Primary Care in Pediatrics deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all the pathology of the child and adolescent from 0 to 14 years old.
The assistance activity of the current Pediatrics is divided into three main areas:
- Care of the healthy child (Preventive Pediatrics or Childcare): periodic revisions and controls are carried out from the moment of birth until the end of pubertal development. In addition, in the different visits, the vaccines that correspond to each age of the vaccination calendar are administered.
- Care of the sick child (Clinical Pediatrics): in the periodic revisions that are made or because of the appearance of some symptomatology, the specialist in Pediatrics makes an evaluation of the child. When necessary, the pediatrician will work together or will refer the child to the corresponding specialist in order to achieve a better approach to the pathology.
- Interrelations between the healthy and sick child with society (Social Pediatrics).
