title: [Pediatric private practice: stakes, difficulties and future perspectives].
abstract: Paediatrics is the medicine of the developing human being, the future adult. In France, this role is mainly ensured by private-practice pediatricians. The pediatrician's field of action is highly varied, sometimes going far beyond organic medicine to cover children's emotional, educational and sociocultural environment, with the overriding aim of helping them to make the best use of their skills and to become healthy, well integrated adults. Unfortunately, there is a lack of private practice pediatricians in France and their geographic distribution is highly uneven. Private practice must be reorganized to ensure that all children have access to a pediatrician.
