IPA Plenary Session with Richard Horton
Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of the Lancet gave a passionate delivery in his overview of issues affecting the health of children internationally.
Key Points:
- Child health organisations need to think and act politically to promote child health
- Progress in Global Child Health initiatives are fragile and non-linear
- Independent Accountability Panels will ensure continuity of progress in the Every Woman, Every Child movement in delivering on its goals, as opposed to the changing “signature policies” of governments and policy makers

International Pediatric Association (IPA) Conference 2016
Hi folks…
More to come soon on this conference. So much expertise, such a breadth of talks to attend, so much to digest and consider how to use in our health setting…
This is a hesitant start…
Sometimes it can be difficult to remember all those useful links we browse and use in our professional life. Hopefully I can start to accumulate a few of these in this blog.
It can also be difficult to maintain up to date knowledge in all the different aspects of paediatric medicine relevant to your practice. I have no aspirations of solving that problem in this blog.
