The congress is a meeting of specialists for the health of children and adolescents: In 2021 the German Society for Child and Adolescent Medicine (DGKJ) will meet under the direction of Prof. Dr. Hermann Josef Girschick from Berlin together with the German Society for Social Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (DGSPJ), the German Society for Pediatric Surgery (DGKCH), the Professional Association for Child Nursing Germany (BeKD), the Society for Child and Adolescent Rheumatology (GKJR) and the Society for Pediatrics Radiology (GPR).

Common focus areas:
