lish relations with their parents, and it was extremely important,
because an infant is completely dependent on the care and protec-
tion of adults, as well as their attention and empathy. - “The par-
ents of a premature or a sick baby must observe it and notice any
irregularities. Doctors support them in this task”- explains Lubin-
ska-Rosset. She focused on neonatology, although there was no
such specialization at the time. - "I learned everything through
practice" - she emphasizes. "This is a really tough specialization,
though it does not seem so at first glance," she says.

After graduating and receiving her medical degree - from De-
cember 1958 to 1961 she worked in children's clinics at 6 Lecznicza
St. and 56 Zarzewska Street. In January 1960 she was employed at
the Outpatient Children’s Gynecology Clinic of the Maria
Sklodowska-Curie Hospital at 15/17 Sklodowskiej-Curie St. (cur-
rently an outpatient clinic). At the same time, she was delegated to
work in the Newborns Ward of the 1st Clinic of Obstetrics and
Women's Diseases (later the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecol-

then dr. Lucyna Bienkiewicz, and the clinic was headed by prof.
Jozef Sieroszewski. Zofia Lubinska-Rosset worked there until Oc-
tober 1986, consecutively as assistant, senior assistant, assistant
professor and senior lecturer, and for many years as the deputy
head of the ward. At the time, the ward also operated at the Ludwik
Rydygier Hospital (13 Seweryna Sterlinga St.), and later at the Mau-
rycy Madurowicz Hospital (at 37 Malgorzaty Fornalskiej St., now
Wilenska St.). In 1967 and 1975 respectively she obtained the first
and second degree of specialization in pediatrics, and in 1972 she
defended her thesis "Acid-base balance in newborns from pro-
longed and post-mature pregnancies", under the supervision of
prof. Alina Komorowska, obtaining the degree of doctor of medi-
