The Unit of Child and Adolescent Health (previously known as Paediatrics and Child Health Department) is a key academic hub for Paediatrics and Child Health at the University of Zimbabwe. The Unit is involved in providing clinical services, research, undergraduate and postgraduate training, innovation, policy support and advocacy for child health through the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education and the Ministry of Health and Child Care.

The Unit is one of the clinical care departments contributing to the MBChB degree training, at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of Zimbabwe. 

In 1982, The Unit of Child and Adolescent Health was the first department in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Zimbabwe to start postgraduate training of specialists (Paediatricians).  Prior to this, all Zimbabweans that aspired to be specialists in Paediatrics and Child Health had to go abroad to train.  Recently added new post graduate degree programs are Masters in Public Health Community Paediatrics and Child public Health and Masters in Paediatric Oncology.
