Dear members and friends of IPNA, 

As the year 2024—the 50th Anniversary of IPNA—comes to an end, we reflect on five decades of our collaboration in advancing pediatric nephrology worldwide.

In celebration of the anniversary, we organized a special online symposium, which was held on 10th October and 16th October 2024. 

Each session comprised a blend of presentations on the history and achievements of IPNA, important developments in pediatric nephrology accomplished over the last few decades, and visionary talks on the future of our specialty. If you missed the live sessions, we are excited to announce that the recordings are now available on the IPNA website. HERE
