Manchester is one of the latest of the British universities to establish a separate chair of child health. This title was chosen in preference to pediatrics to denote the increased interest being taken in the preventive aspects of medicine in general and of pediatrics in particular. It is also a term that is better recognized by the laity, to whom an appeal for funds to start the Department was made in 1944. As a result of this appeal annual donations were promised from Manchester and neighbouring local authorities and from the voluntary children's hospitals for a period of 5 years, and sufficient money was raised thereby to start the department in September 1947.
