Prof. dr Bojko Bjelaković

Profesor Bojko Bjelaković je jedan od naših malobrojnih pedijatara čija su naučna i stručna dostignuća dobila priznanje kako u zemlji tako i u inostranstvu.
Kao jedan od najboljih studenata medicine svoje generacije, karijeru je počeo 1995. godine na Klinici za Pedijatriju, Klinički Centar Niš kao lekar Odeljenja za Intenzivnu negu, kasnije odeljenja za kardiologiju.
Svoja stručna i naučna usavršavanja je nastavio u Univerzitetskoj Dečijoj Klinici, Tiršova Beograd gde je 2005. godine stekao zvanje subspecijaliste kardiologa. Iza toga, svoja usavršavanja nastavlja u Pragu, Roterdamu, Helsinkiju, Londonu i Rimu gde je 2018. godine izabran za gostujućeg profesora na jednom od najstarijih Evropskih Univerziteta, Sapienza.
Autor je nekoliko desetina radova iz Pedijatrije koji su publikovani u najznačajnijim svetskim časopisima kao i nekoliko originalnih terapijskih opcija u lečenju dece sa različitim zdravstvenim problemima čime se posebno ponosi. Osnivač je i prvi predsednik Udruženja za preventivnu pedijatriju Srbije i član brojnih međunarodnih udruženja od kojih izdvaja (International Lipid Expert Panel, MIGHTY MEDIC, European Atherosclerosis Society).
Jedan je i od urednika i osnivač stručnog i naučnog časopisa od nacionalnog značaja, Preventivna Pedijatrija.
Svoje znanje iz pedijatrije i dečije kardiologije svakodnevno usavršava i usmerava tako da deci na najbolji mogući način omogući zdravo i normalno odrastanje.
Kao osoba koja želi da pruži svoj maksimum malim pacijentima, najveću satisfakciju u radu ima u rešavanju hroničnih i ređih zdravstvenih problema dece sa nekim od kardioloških problema ili u lečenju dece koja nemaju zadovoljavajući odgovor na standardnu medicinsku terapiju i zahtevaju posebnu medicinsku pažnju.
