The first reason to celebrate was the opening of the inpatient Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care for children in the former University Children’s Hospital on 1st October 1991, which, even from today’s perspective, is a unique and extraordinary act. 15 years ago, on 1st November 2006, the current Department of Paediatric Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (DPAICM) was founded as a shared teaching workplace of the University Hospital Brno and Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, which was an important academic impulse for the workplace.

Štěrba, the Dean of FM MU prof. Repko, Deputy for Medicine for the workplace of Children’s Hospital assoc. prof. Blatný, Deputy for Medicine for the workplace of Medicine of adult age in Bohunice and Maternity Hospital prof.
