Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great honor to welcome you to the 53rd Annual Belgian Paediatric Congress, which will take place in Mons on March 13-14, 2025.

This year marks a significant milestone for our community, as regional and national paediatric societies have successfully united to form the Belgian Academy of Paediatrics. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to advancing paediatric care across Belgium.

In our daily practice, we are deeply invested in both prevention and providing the highest quality of care by staying informed about the latest innovations in general and subspecialty paediatrics. With that in mind, the central theme of this year’s congress is “Prevention and Innovations”.

This theme will be highlighted through a dynamic and engaging program, beginning with a plenary session on the prevention of RSV bronchiolitis. The congress will feature a mix of interactive sessions, designed to foster knowledge exchange and provide updates relevant to all paediatricians, as well as paediatric nurses and paramedics.

We are excited to welcome you to Mons in March and look forward to an inspiring and enriching event!
