International Paediatric Pathology Association (IPPA)

IPPA is an "umbrella" organization, established in 1976, with a remit to bring together interested groups and individuals from around the world to increase knowledge of the diseases of the embryo, fetus, neonate, and child and promote its application to the health needs of all countries.

The main means by which it pursues these goals are by facilitating contacts between pediatric pathologists; organizing conferences and teaching programs; and by encouraging publication in the fields of developmental, pediatric (also spelt: pediatric), and perinatal pathology.

Membership is drawn indirectly from Affiliated Societies and directly from individuals working in regions not covered by Affiliated Societies.
