Iranian Society of Pediatrics
The Iranian Society of Pediatrics was founded in 1956 (1335 SH) with the participation of distinguished pioneers and leading figures in the history of pediatrics in Iran, with the aim of advancing scientific, research, and professional activities as a non-governmental and non-profit organization. Today, the pediatric medical community of Iran remains indebted to its founders and leaders.
Since October 2023 (Mehr 1402), with the efforts of several colleagues, the Society has expanded its activities. Given the growing number of pediatricians nationwide, the Society has initiated membership recruitment and established branches across various provinces. At present, many provinces have active branches affiliated with the central body of the Society, and it is planned that by next year, branches of the Iranian Society of Pediatricians will be established in all provinces.
In response to the need for enhancing the academic and educational standards of its members, in addition to holding annual congresses, the Society regularly organizes lectures and continuing education programs throughout the year, aiming to raise awareness and update the knowledge of pediatricians across the country. Furthermore, in some provinces, seminars and lectures tailored to members’ needs are also held in coordination with the central office.
The Iranian Society of Pediatrics maintains active and effective cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Medical Education and the Iranian Medical Council as two major institutions in professional and medical affairs. It also collaborates with other medical associations, organizations, and relevant bodies, providing expert and advisory opinions on educational, research, clinical, and professional matters.
The Society is governed by a Board of Directors elected by its members at the Annual General Assembly for a four-year term, pursuing the following objectives:
