FISPGHAN is an umbrella organisation composed of four paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition professional societies: NASPGHAN, LASPGHAN, ESPGHAN & APPSPGHAN. FISPGHAN was founded in the year 2000, by paediatric professional societies wishing to promote worldwide cooperation and education among paediatric gastroenterologists. The primary role of FISPGHAN has been to facilitate the World Congress of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (WCPGHAN), which currently occurs every four years.
The NASPGHAN Foundation has a single goal: to improve the treatment and management of gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic and nutritional disorders in children. Through our work, we provide information and resources to parents, patients and medical professionals dealing with these disorders.
The NASPGHAN Foundation was founded by the North American Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN), a professional society of more than 1400 paediatric gastroenterologists, to promote awareness and research of paediatric digestive and nutrional disorders.
