title: [Various medico-social aspects of children's disability in the Kirghiz SSR].
abstract: Disability of children is an urgent, little investigated and medicosocial problem. It is characterised by high level, severity, very slow dynamics and stipulates the formation of population of "invalids from childhood" among adult population. The main causes of disability are congenital and genetic diseases, mainly neuropsychic. Hereditary factors, diseases during pregnancy, the use of drugs, consumption of alcohol, complicated delivery also play a major role. The lack of watchfulness both on the part of physicians and the parents themselves also results in the birth of affected children. Prevention priorities include medico-genetic counseling, the improvement of obstetric care and increasing awareness of the importance of family planning among young people. The disability of children should be regarded as an important qualitative indicator of joint activities of obstetrician-gynaecologists, general practitioners and pediatricians.
