A special study was undertaken in three pediatric clinics of Makhachkala (Republic of Dagestan) for the purpose of elaborating methodological recommendations targeted at promoting the quality and efficiency of children monitoring. The quality of patient-care was studied on the basis of expert evaluation of 565 outpatient's cards of small-age children. The expert evaluation showed that the monitoring of the above category of children is up to the mark. Inferior nursing by physician was registered in 5.4% of cases; paramedical personnel failed to nurse babies of the 1st life year in 8.8% of cases. The regularity of children's monitoring in clinics was adhered to in above one half of cases; babies of the 1st life year were transferred on artificial feeding without strong reason in 52.9% of cases; and the time of adding additional feeding was not observed in 25% of cases. Methodological recommendations aimed at promoting the quality and efficiency of small-children monitoring in city clinics were elaborated on the basis of the study results.
