The International Pediatric Association (IPA) was formed in Paris in 1910 by a group of European pediatricians who assembled for the First International Congress of Pediatrics in 1912. Over the years, the IPA has evolved into a non-governmental organization with a membership of 154 national pediatric societies from 148 countries, 7 regional pediatric societies representing all areas of the world, 12 international pediatric specialty societies, and three affiliate societies. The IPA, currently a volunteer-staffed organization, is incorporated in Switzerland and is governed by a Council of Delegates comprised of one representative from each member Society, an elected Standing Committee, an Executive Committee of the Standing Committee, and its Officers.
