Who we are

The Belgian Academy of Paediatrics exists to represent and promote
the interests of the child, based on the Convention of the Rights of
the Child and therefore, in close cooperation with all child-centred
organisations, we aim to inform and influence the political arena to
advocate for children and youngsters.

The Belgian Academy of Paediatrics exists to represent and promote
the interests of the paediatrician. Therefore, as an umbrella of all
regional and Belgian scientific and professional paediatric
organisations as well as all universities, we aim to improve
standards in training, service and research and to represent the
professional interests of paediatricians in Belgium as well as in
Europe.

Various experts are gathered in different Task Forces to set specific goals and time-lines. When new challenges arise and urgent input is needed, an additional objective is added to an existing Task Force, or an ad-hoc Task Force is created within one of the different sub-areas: Strategic, Scientific, Financial, Education and Society.
