Welcoming Four New IPNA Sister Renal Centers Partnerships

We are delighted to announce the selection of four new partnerships in the IPNA Sister Renal Centers Program, further strengthening our global commitment to improving kidney care for children through collaboration, education, and capacity building.

Congratulations to our newly selected partnerships:

Dr. Jamal Ahmed Rashid Pediatric Teaching Hospital, Iraq ↔ IRCCS Istrituto Giannina Gaslini, Italy
Baca ortiz Pediatric Hospital, Ecuador ↔ Dr. Exequiel Gonzalez Cortez Children Hospital, Chile
Saint Mary Hospital for Children, Romania ↔ Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, UK
Instituto de Nefrología y Urología (INU), Uruguay ↔ Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina


Over the next two years, these centers will work together to exchange expertise, support healthcare professionals, strengthen local pediatric nephrology services, and ultimately improve outcomes for children with kidney diseases in their regions. The program provides funding and a structured framework to help these collaborations achieve sustainable, long-term impact.

We warmly congratulate all participating teams and thank them for their dedication to advancing pediatric kidney care worldwide. We look forward to following their progress and sharing their achievements with the IPNA community.
