Asia Pacific Paediatric Endocrine Society (APPES)

Asia Pacific Paediatric Endocrine Society (APPES)

Minato, Tokyo, Japan

The Asia Pacific Paediatric Endocrine Society (APPES) is a regional paediatric endocrine society that was formed in 1999 to provide a forum for those with an interest in paediatric endocrinology and diabetes in the Asia Pacific region.

While there are a number of international and regional paediatric endocrine societies, it was considered that the Asia Pacific region with its large population, large area and unique issues would benefit from having its own regional forum.

The major objectives of the Asia Pacific Endocrine Society are:
• To promote the best standards of care and be an advocate for the rights and quality of life of young people with endocrine disorders and diabetes
• To promote education and information sharing about paediatric endocrine disorders and diabetes amongst all health providers and the community
• To be a forum for interaction between health professionals within the disciplines of paediatric endocrinology and diabetes in the Asia Pacific Region
