Summary
One of the first paediatric ENT centres in the world was the research group managed by Jan Danielewicz in Warsaw. It was organised on the basis of progress clinics and paediatric ENT wards, and a programme of specialisation was established (1, 2). Almost simultaneously, in the sixties of the twentieth century, centres for paediatric ENT were established in Prague, Berne, Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest and Sophia. In the nineteen-seventies these were in touch with the centre for paediatric ENT in Italy, which was the pioneer in this speciality in West Europe. The effect of this contact was the creation of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Societies, and the International Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (IFOS), and further dynamic progress in this specialisation.
