The European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) exists to promote the health of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults in Europe. It aims to improve standards in training, service and research and to represent the professional interests of paediatricians in the EU.
EAP is not only a Paediatric Society made of European and non-European paediatricians, but it also represents the Paediatric Section of UEMS (European Union of Medical Specialists) composed of delegates from European national and specialist paediatric societies and as such, it represents the official political voice for children and paediatricians throughout Europe.
