[Arvid Wallgren - an international famous pediatrician].
Arvid Wallgren's (1889-1973) studies on tuberculosis and his success with the BOG-vaccination gave national and international response. His clinical skill joined with the interest of the social welfare of the children made him an outstanding teacher for mothers, medical staffs, students and pediatricians. This ability was also used by international organisations reconstructing Europe after the Second World War as well as of the WHO in developmental countries.
