MENDEZ RIBAS, José M. Primary care in the adolescent gynecological pathology. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2018, vol.116, n.2, pp.156-159. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2018.156.

The Medicine for adolescents is a true specialty mostly exercised by doctors trained in pediatrics, family clinicians and gynecologists properly trained in their care and with the vocation for that. Based on my experience as a Founding Member and Director for more than 20 years of the Adolescence Program of the Hospital de Clínicas (University of Buenos Aires), I presented a methodology of attention with the objective of showing a comprehensive approach of the adolescents with an emphasis on general health promotion and prevention of diseases, and on reproductive health in particular.
