Service: Pediatricians will deliver the best possible preventative and curative services for children, and will strive for the necessary facilities to provide these services.

Partnership: Pediatricians will seek out and work with other partners in maternal and child health, including their government ministries of health, United Nations agencies at country and global levels, and donors. Advocacy: Pediatricians will promote health for all children from birth through adolescence, and will advocate for the right of every newborn, child, and adolescent to health and well being. Collegiality: Pediatricians will be global citizens, collaborating locally and internationally with their colleagues in pediatrics and child health

IPA: working for every child, every age, everywhere.

The International Pediatric Association (IPA) exists to create a world where all children, regardless of age, location or family situation can live healthy lives.

For over 100 years, IPA has been the only global body representing the professional societies of pediatricians. We connect pediatricians from all over the world to lead improvements in child and adolescent health and rights. Since our foundation in 1910 we have become a globally respected voice in the international health community. IPA advocates globally, nationally and locally for high quality, evidence-based and child-centred pediatric care. We are a respected partner of WHO and UNICEF and provide global leadership on emerging child health issues through our work with leading global health players.

IPA represents pediatricians from over 149 countries in over 164 member societies, enabling them to work together to improve the physical, mental and social health and wellbeing of all children, from birth through adolescence. We represent over a million pediatricians saving the lives and improving the health of more than a billion children.
