• children's oncologist-hematologist;
• medical microbiologist;
• doctor of physical and rehabilitation medicine.

The hematologist - the doctor who is engaged in diagnostics and treatment of diseases of blood and also violations of a status of blood at other diseases. Such specialty was not earlier though in the world it exists about 40 years, the president of the National medical research center of children's hematology, oncology and immunology of Dmitry Rogachyov, the chief non-staff children's specialist - the hematologist of the Russian Ministry of Health Alexander Rumyantsev explained.

The Ministry of Health entered 3 new medical positions: children's oncologist-hematologist, medical microbiologist, doctor of physical and rehabilitation medicine

According to him, such specialties are in such countries as Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Armenia.

Today the main part of oncology is solved using medicines, and in pediatric practicians it is the main position because the doctor the oncologist-hematologist works with the patient, with family five years, - Rumyantsev told.

New medical specialties are entered, but two of them ("children's oncology hematology" and "medical microbiology") have no corresponding directions of medical activity which are subject to licensing the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation of 4/16/2012 No. 291 agrees.
