Announcement

APSSEAR (Association of Pediatric Societies of Southeast Asian Region) is now known as APPA (Asian Pacific Pediatric Association)!

This move was decided at the meeting of the Council in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2003. The change is to truly reflect the composition of the member societies.
