20 January - National Pediatrician's Day in Venezuela

The pediatrician is the most beloved family physician, since he/she is handling the jewel of the family group, which are the children, and that is why he/she is so close to the people.

This celebration dates back to 1939, with the installation of the Venezuelan Society of Pediatrics, year in which its first president, Dr. Gustavo Machado, proclaimed January 20 as the date for the celebration of the pediatrician's day in Venezuela.
