The conference opened with welcoming remarks, setting the tone for global collaboration and knowledge exchange among delegates. Over two days, the scientific sessions covered an impressive range of topics, including Pediatric Cardiology with a focus on advances in congenital heart disease treatment; Neonatal Neurology highlighting innovations in managing brain injuries in newborns; Pediatric Infectious Diseases addressing strategies to combat emerging viral and bacterial threats; Pediatric Oncology presenting breakthrough therapies for childhood cancers; Respiratory and Critical Care with the latest approaches to asthma and pneumonia; Endocrinology and Metabolic Disorders tackling pediatric obesity and diabetes; and Public Health and Vaccination Programs exploring global strategies for disease prevention. Young researchers and medical students from universities worldwide contributed over 40 poster and 20 oral presentations, sharing novel case studies, innovative treatment methodologies, and impactful public health strategies. Outstanding work was honored with “Young Researcher Awards” and “Best Poster Awards,” recognizing excellence and encouraging continued contributions to the field.

Three interactive workshops added a hands-on dimension to the program: the Pediatric Emergency Simulation Workshop offered training for rapid responses in critical cases; the Neonatal Nutrition and Lactation Counseling session shared the latest guidelines for improving newborn health; and the Data-Driven Pediatric Research workshop explored how AI and big data can be leveraged for early disease detection. Beyond the academic sessions, the event fostered meaningful networking and collaboration through one-on-one discussions, panel debates, and informal interactions during coffee breaks and gala dinners. These connections led to the initiation of several collaborative research projects and the signing of multiple Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) between institutions for future partnerships.

Delegates also enjoyed a rich cultural experience with guided tours of London, visiting landmarks such as the Tower Bridge, British Museum, and Buckingham Palace, which added to the global spirit of the event. The conference outcomes included the strengthening of international pediatric research networks, the launch of two new collaborative clinical trials in pediatric oncology and infectious diseases, and the publication of selected papers in peer-reviewed medical journals. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with 94% of attendees expressing interest in participating in future editions.

Building on the success of this third edition, we are excited to announce that the 4th World Conference on Pediatrics, Neonatology, and Infectious Diseases will be held on June 1–2, 2026, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. With a larger venue, an even greater number of international speakers, and an enriched scientific program, we invite pediatric healthcare professionals from around the world to join us in shaping the future of child health. Join us in Amsterdam, June 2026 — where innovation meets collaboration in pediatric healthcare.
