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

The World Summit on Pediatrics is not just a conference; it represents a crucial meeting where global commitment to children’s health comes to life. In an era marked by continuously evolving health challenges, this international summit brings together the minds and hearts of the world’s pediatrics: the most distinguished researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals, and decision-makers.

Our mission is twofold and fundamental: on one hand, to share and celebrate the advancements that have saved and improved countless lives, from neonatal discoveries to the most advanced vaccination strategies; on the other, to urgently and resolutely address the new and persistent threats that compromise every child’s right to a healthy future.

We are here to turn data into action and scientific discoveries into concrete policies, building together, step by step, a future in which the well-being of children is the true and unquestionable global priority.

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 ISTANBUL

Historically, it is the only city that was successively the capital of three major empires: Roman, Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires. However, the first settlements that were founded in and around Istanbul date back to 6500 BC. Even today, it protects its historical heritage and is in constant change.
