Dear colleagues and friends,

We are honored to host the 52nd Congress of the BVK-SBP, that will be held in Antwerp on March 14-15th 2024.

During the last years, the different regional and national pediatric societies have joined their forces to aim for a better organization of pediatric care in Belgium. We also work more and more inter- and multidisciplinary to provide better care for our patients whether it is for general or subspecialty pediatric care. Therefore the central theme of this congress is “Joining Forces”.

This will be reflected by a new program starting with a “States-General” on the future organization of pediatrics in Belgium followed by a new format promoting interaction and updates on general and subspeciality knowledge for all pediatricians, pediatric nurses and paramedics.

We look forward to welcoming you in Antwerp in March!

On behalf of the plenary scientific committee:
