The World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies was established in Paris, in September 1997. It arose from the vision of a few world leaders in the field of Pediatric Critical Care, who saw the opportunity to combine their expertise, experience and influence to improve the outcomes for children suffering from life threatening illness and injury.

It was recognised that by connecting national societies into an international network, they could achieve more than one nation working alone. They envisioned a truly global community that would further research and distribute knowledge needed to care for these children.

Working together, the Federation can set priorities, provide resources to pursue new knowledge, link working groups around the world to build on current research, and host forums for discussion on how findings could be adapted to provide options for practitioners in developing as well as more developed countries.
