Did you know that 1 in 3 children globally is affected by lead poisoning? Lead exposure is a hidden crisis, impacting the brains and bodies of millions of children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries across Asia, Africa, Central & South America, and Eastern Europe. This toxic metal poses a serious threat to children's health, contributing to intellectual disabilities, lifelong health challenges, and even death. The International Pediatric Association is a proud partner of the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future. Here at IPA, we believe every child deserves a safe, healthy environment. Let’s raise awareness and take action against lead exposure! #IPA #UNICEF #EndLeadPoisoning #LeadPoisoningPrevention #ChildHealth

Lead poisoning can cause irreversible damage to children's health, affecting their development and potential. The International Pediatric Association calls on governments, health partners, and communities to unite in creating lead-free environments—safe homes, schools, and playgrounds where children can thrive. Together, we can build a healthier future for every child. Let’s take action now! #IPA #WHO #UNICEF #InternationalLeadPoisoningPreventionWeek
Polio is a preventable disease that continues to threaten children's lives in certain parts of the world.

Vaccination remains the most powerful tool in preventing polio and ensuring a world where no child has to suffer from this crippling disease. Together, we can achieve a polio-free world. #IPA #WorldPolioDay #EndPolio
