Established in 1976 (1355 AH), the Iranian Society of Pediatrics was founded through the efforts of distinguished and pioneering figures in the field of pediatric medicine in Iran. With a mission to promote scientific, research-based, and specialized activities, the society began its journey as a non-governmental and non-profit organization.
Today, the Iranian Society of Pediatrics continues to grow and evolve. As of October 2023 (Mehr 1402), and with the dedicated efforts of a group of committed professionals, the society has expanded its scope in response to the increasing number of pediatricians across the country. Efforts have been made to enhance membership and establish active branches in various provinces. At present, many provincial branches are operating in coordination with the central society, contributing to the advancement of pediatric healthcare throughout Iran.

The Iranian Society of Pediatrics believes that “child health is not just freedom from disease; rather, wellness is a universal right consisting of physical, mental, and spiritual health.” Today, as physicians who are concerned about the future of children, we emphasize several key principles:
Healthy nutrition is the right of every child. From breast milk to a balanced diet in later years.Movement and play: Play is the universal language of a child and the driving force behind his intellectual and physical development.Mental health: Providing a safe, violence-free, and loving environment is an undeniable necessity for raising a resilient and hopeful generation.Prevention: Timely vaccination and periodic checkups are a strong shield against many threats.A worthy childhood: Every child deserves equal opportunities for education, developing talents, and enjoying childhood
According to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (Article 38), children must be protected during armed conflicts. The violation of this right constitutes a crime against humanity.
State Parties undertake to respect and ensure respect for the applicable rules of international humanitarian law in armed conflicts that affect children.
State Parties shall take all feasible measures to ensure that persons who have not attained the age of 15 do not take a direct part in hostilities.
State Parties shall refrain from recruiting individuals under the age of 15 into their armed forces. In recruiting individuals between the ages of 15 and 18, States shall endeavor to give priority to those who are oldest.
In accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect the civilian population in armed conflicts, State Parties shall take all feasible measures to ensure protection and care for children who are affected by armed conflict.
The Silent Cry!
Children do not wage war; their wounds are often silent. Yet this silence is a cry for the conscience of humanity. The greatest human capital, which is consumed in the fire of prejudice and conflicts, is their bodies and souls. Alongside condemnation, we must transform “active protection of children” from slogans into individual and collective measures. Each small effort can create hope and play in a child’s life—a child who, in the face of the horrors of war, should not be today’s first victim.
Children and the Shadow of War: When Security Falls, They Are the First Victims!
Amid the clamor of war news, explosions, and diplomatic tensions, there are groups whose voices are often stifled—children. They are not the initiators of war, nor do they have any power to change it, yet the deepest wounds to body and mind are inflicted upon them. In this crisis, protecting children’s health is not a priority; it is the essence of humanity.

Say No to Accidents
With education and accountability, we can reduce the rate of traffic accidents.
Human life is more valuable than arriving a few minutes earlier.
An accident is not a coincidence! By obeying the rules, you save your life and the lives of others.
Maintain a safe distance; a sudden brake can be catastrophic.
Always drive 5 to 10 kilometers below the speed limit to allow more reaction time.
Drive very slowly in crowded areas and near schools.
In rainy conditions, at night, or in fog, reduce your speed by up to 30%.
Speed will not get you to your destination any sooner—it only increases the risk of death.
A mobile phone in hand equals imminent danger. Put your phone away while driving.
Fatigue reduces concentration. If you are tired, do not drive.
Maintain a safe distance; a sudden brake can be catastrophic.
Say No to Accidents
Message for Pedestrians:
Crossing at pedestrian crossings = safety guaranteed. Do not cross from unauthorized locations.
Make eye contact with the driver before crossing the street.
At night, wear bright clothing to ensure you are visible.
Message for Motorcyclists:
A helmet = a life saver. Never ride without one.
Do not weave between vehicles; a small mistake can end a life.
Never ride your motorcycle on the sidewalk under any circumstances.
A motorcycle is a means of transport, not a showpiece. Ride with caution.
