Your voice as a child advocate is urgently needed. Tell us your story.

Since the first World Congress of Pediatrics in 2015, pediatricians, students, residents, psychiatrists, nurses, teachers and parents have been working to promote the importance of pediatrics around the world. The Madrid Congress in 2024 was a great success and allowed us to meet YOU again as an advocate for children.

Hundreds of participants in Copenhagen, Porto, Rome, Madrid and in virtual format from Italy wanted to keep the relevance of social pediatrics in everyone’s mind since we started. We consider the health of the child in the context of society, the environment, the school and the family. We integrate the physical, mental and social dimensions of child health, as well as care, prevention, health promotion and quality of life.

The impact of the pandemic in all areas of a child’s life affects these dimensions. For this reason, we have chosen Advances in Pediatrics in Technology, Mental Health, Child Disparities, Nutrition and Immunization Strategies as our main theme for this year.

This theme expands on our general theme of Social Pediatrics, which encompasses child health in the context of Society, Environment, School, and Family, including Physical, Mental, and Social Health as an integral part of childhood. In addition, advocacy, and policy as an absolute necessity among pediatricians to create change and address the future of children as well as the impact of current social, political, and financial determinants that will severely hamper their future.

We want YOU to be a special voice. A voice that listens to the needs and proposes solutions. If you are a student, resident, pediatrician, nurse, parent, or teacher, tell us your story. We can promote it for everybody for the benefit of children and society on a global scale.

We invite YOU to be the voice, the ear and a hand that promotes needs and solutions for the benefit of children and their families around the world.

ENJOY VIENNA

Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.
