Advocacy in pedatrics means speaking out on behalf of children and young people. This not only implies to the individual children and families that we see, but also applies to development of health policy and organisations. How can advocacy be used by pediatricians in the global fight to improve child health and children’s rights?

IPALA & Kenya Pediatric Society Workshop Academic Leadership

17th April 2024

Academic structures within countries represent an important resource for advancing the health, wellbeing and health care of children and youth. Academic institutions have a primary responsibility for education, research and translation of research to policy and practice as well as delivery of clinical care, often being an important source of tertiary care services within the health care system of a country. Together with the professional society of pediatrics they are an important national voice for children and youth. 


It is with this background that a successful workshop was held in Kenya organized by Dr. Angela Migowa to focus on academics as part of the annual meeting of the Kenya Pediatric Society. The topics covered by the workshop included: IPALA and the Global Agenda, Inclusivity & Equity in Academic Leadership, Establishment of Fellowship Programs, Leadership in Medical Education, and a lively panel discussion on Cultivating Individual Success in Research for Child Health.


There was broad interest and engagement in the workshop and particular strength in the mix of Kenyan senior and younger members of the academic and broader pediatric community as presenters and in the participation of the audience. Follow-up from the ideas generated by the meeting will focus on how IPALA can support national strengthening of the academic pediatric institutions.
