Workshop on Children’s Health and the Environment
Nairobi , Kenya
October 11-14, 2005
An important workshop will be held on October 11-14, 2005 in Nairobi, Kenya. In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Pediatric Association (IPA) is sponsoring a 3-day workshop on Children’s Health and the Environment. During this workshop, providers will learn about the harmful effects of air pollution, water contamination and unsafe food on the health of children. The course is designed for African doctors and nurses who plan to teach other providers about children’s health and the environment. We will discuss how pediatricians and nurses from countries throughout Africa can work together to help improve the environment for tomorrow’s children. This issue is a cross-cutting one that may be every bit as important as nutrition in its overall impact on child health.
We hope that you will consider attending or sending a representative to join us in taking action on the many environmental threats to children’s health.
