The World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS) was established in 1997. It arose from the vision of several world leaders in the field of Pediatric Critical Care who saw the opportunity to combine international expertise, experience and influence to improve the outcomes of children suffering from life threatening illness and injury.
WFPICCS is committed to a global environment in which all children have access to intensive and critical care of the highest standard. With this in mind, WFPICCS has defined its mission as exclusively educational, scientific and charitable in nature. It exists to find ways of improving the care of critically ill children throughout the world, and make that knowledge available to those who care for the children.
WFPICCS, a not-for-profit Federation, continues to take care of critically sick children and their families by reaching out and collaborating internationally with pediatric and neonatal critical care professionals.
