4. OLENA BEZPALKO, PEDIATRICIAN-NEONATOLOGIST

Another blogger doctor from Lviv, Olena Bespalko, works not only as a pediatrician but is also versed in such a branch of medicine as neonatology. Neonatologists’ patients are newborns who require special medical care due to prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, birth defects, low birth weight, sepsis, or congenital asphyxia.

Therefore, we can say that Olena is a narrow specialist. And blogger doctors in this area of medicine are a rarity. So, we advise you to pay attention to her Instagram page. She posts on topics such as breastfeeding, vaccinations, and other aspects of caring for young children. It is also worth noting that Olena is a mother of many children, therefore, she has not only professional but also life experience in the care and treatment of children.
