A lecturer in Diseases of Children was first appointed in 1921 and later given the status of part-time professor in 1927. Some 19 years later (1946) the part-time chair in Diseases of Children was replaced by a whole-time chair in Pediatrics and Child Health. The formation of a university department began with the establishment of a whole-time chair. Departmental staff, other than secretarial, consists of the professorial head, his deputy, who has the status of lecturer, and three tutors. Of the tutors, one holds a resident appointment in a maternity hospital.
