Global Initiative for Consensus in Pediatrics (CIP)

The “Global Initiative for Consensus in Pediatrics” (CIP) is a public, nonprofit, unbiased, apolitical and independent organization. The Limited Liability Company is legally registered in Cyprus, and was founded for the purpose of promoting and seeking optimal Global Pediatric Health Care by establishing academic debate platforms that stimulate Consensus and agreements on main child health pathologies, difficulties and controversies.

The main objectives and principles on which the CIP is based are:
• The belief that Children are the future of Humanity and every generation has the duty of securing them optimal health care.
• To fulfill this mission, that every effort should be made to reach global agreement on basic guidelines and strategies concerning Child Health
• To achieve such goals, that academic platforms should be established seeking for consensus and agreements on child health care;

CIP organizes congresses, international symposium, regional fora, workshops and debates, assures circulation of the consensus through both lay and medical media as well as through the CIP website. In addition they circulate information through regular newsletters, and have established a free “Pediatric Knowledge Diffusion and Transfer” instrument in the form of the “EnCIPedia” project. CIP engages in many other activities which contribute to the advancement of pediatrics and children’s health worldwide, offering state of the art knowledge in approach, diagnosis and treatments, and publishing main reports in relevant professional literature.

All the purposes and powers of CIP are exercised exclusively for charitable, scientific or educational purposes. CIP supports the aims and objectives of the WHO and the IPA and collaborates with them regularly (see the CIP Statutes).
