Asia Pacific Paediatric Nurses Association

At the 13^th Asian Pacific Congress of Pediatrics (APCP) and 3^rd Asian Pacific Congress of Pediatric Nursing (APCPN) at Shanghai, China in October 2009, nurses delegates from different countries met and viewed that Asia Pacific Region was heavily populated with more than half of the world’s child population, a nursing network for knowledge exchange and acting as a unified voice to address major common global health issues of children was certainly in need. The Steering Committee for establishment of The Asia Pacific Paediatric Nurses Association was formed, with Ms. Susanna Lee from Hong Kong nominated as the Convener. In 2012, the Steering Committee members comprised of nursing leaders from Hong Kong, China, Australia, Korea, Singapore, Japan, Macau, Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia, all dedicated to work towards the common goal in establishing The Asia Pacific Paediatric Nurses Association (APPNA). In between 2009 to 2012, cross countries meetings were held. With the immense support from Dr. Chan Chok Wan, honorary adviser of the Steering Committee of APPNA, past president of International Pediatric Association (IPA) and Honorary President of Asia Pacific Pediatric Association (APPA) and the hard work of Steering Committee members, the Asia Pacific Paediatric Nurses Association was established and inaugurated on 10^th September 2012 at the 14^th Asia Pacific Congress of Pediatrics and 4^th Asia Pacific Congress of Pediatric Nursing in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. Now the secretariat of APPNA is stationed in Hong Kong.
