GREAT CARE FOR LITTLE KIDNEYS. EVERYWHERE.
IPNA has an ambitious strategic plan for improving the kidney health of children internationally.
Strategic plan
Our Vision – IPNA members disseminate knowledge about kidney disease in children in the areas where care is needed most. “Optimal care for all children with kidney disease” is IPNA’s vision.
Our mission is to lead the global efforts to enhance the care for all children with kidney disease through advocacy, education, training and research.
Our Strategy has four pillars, illustrated below.
