Welcome Messages
Asia Pacific Pediatric Association (APPA) started its sojourn as Association of Pediatric Societies of South East Asian Region (APPSEAR) in 1974 from Philippines with objectives of providing linkages between pediatrician of the region and managing educational programs to improve services & health status of children in the region through: Research in all aspects of Pediatrics, dissemination of knowledge and holding of an Asian Congress of Pediatrics, every three years.
Our 18th congress, Asia Pacific Congress of Pediatrics (APCP), the golden Jubilee event, is being organized by National Pediatric Society of Philippines, at the birthplace of APPA in November 14-17, 2024.
The theme is very appropriate: “Redesigning the Horizon of Pediatric Healthcare in the Asia Pacific”; and is being organized in Cebu, Philippines, a tourist destination as well. The theme reflects the need for a change as envisaged by post epidemic situation as well as climate change impact.
The Organizing team is led by Prof. Joselyn Eusebio, the President Elect of APPA with very energetic and experienced team of national society of Philippines and thus promises to be an excellent congress with lots to learn as well as a superb forum of exchange of experience. Our experts shall deliberate on the latest developments in their field, who will not only be coming from the region but also from beyond the borders as per required expertise.
This event is often academically rich but also promises social/ cultural experience as well as tasteful delights.
At this event we shall recognize our legends by the award of “Asian outstanding Pediatrician Award”, as per scrutiny of nomination committee.
Overall, this congress promises to be a fully encompassing activity, that shall quench everyone’s thirst.
I would hope that all of you shall join us at this congress to learn and exchange experiences for betterment of our children’s health.

Welcome to the 18th APCP
Dear friends and colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that I extend an invitation to you on behalf of the Asia Pacific Pediatric Association (APPA) to the 18th Asia Pacific Congress of Pediatrics (APCP) in Cebu. This year we celebrate our 50th anniversary in a country that APPA was originally established as the Association of Pediatric Societies of the South East Asian Region (APSSEAR) in 1974. I am sure the local organising committee will make this golden jubilee celebration an eventful and exciting one with excellent scientific content as well as remarkable social events.
The theme of “Redesigning the Horizon of Pediatric Healthcare in the Asia Pacific” is a forward-looking and ambitious one. With collaboration from all the 23 member societies of APPA and inter-society networking, we can look forward to better healthcare for all of our children in the region.
The 18th APCP is organised in conjunction, and concurrently, with the 8th Asia Pacific Congress of Pediatric Nursing. This is in line with our commitment as paediatricians to increase the knowledge and expertise of our partners in child health, the nurses who work in the wards, clinics, NICUs, PICUs and community. We invite paediatric and neonatal nurses to join us in the celebrations too.
Cebu and the Philippines are well known for their hospitality that I need not elaborate on. Knowing the Filipinas, the social events to celebrate APPA's golden jubilee will be memorable and surpass previous ones.
See you all in Cebu.
