As a multilingual event, the Congress reflected both the diversity of its host city and the global pediatric critical care community it serves.
WFPICCS 2018 continued the Federation’s long-standing tradition of delivering world-class pediatric intensive and critical care education. The Congress brought together healthcare professionals from across the globe to share knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and advance the care of critically ill children and their families.
