Service de médecine infantile et de biologie clinique pédiatrique, Oran, Algérie.

Pediatric oncohematology represents 40% of our daily activity. Its management is analyzed and conditions of its development discussed. In underdeveloped countries, financial, human and management health resources are severely limited. Far less than 8.5% of national product (estimated necessary for a health service to meet population requirements) are spent in Algeria. Then rationing health services is implicit and eventually left to physicians. Limited access to hospitals is more drastic to children than to adults. Paediatricians have therefore to manage their activity to get best value for money spent on health care, training and research.
