INTERNATIONAL PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATION Message From The President
Dear members of the IPA. We have reached one third of our tenure leading our association and its time to make a report of what has been done so far. First of all we dedicated much of this time to secure an administrative structure that can keep us moving on. Our Executive Director, William Keenan, has organized an ED Office, working with Mrs. Alejandra Lule-Rivera, our Executive Manager, and we are searching for a place for establishing our headquarters in Europe. IPA has reviewed and increased its partnership with WHO and is fully engaged in all global health initiatives involving children, like the UN high level meeting on noncommunicable diseases, the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (where we are represented by Zulfiqar Bhutta and past president Chokwan Chan) and many others. Immunization is also one of our priorities and our Technical Advisory Group in this field, leaded by past president Adenike Grange, Ciro de Quadros and Louis Cooper, is about to initiate a series of group meetings in Africa, moving on with the Champions in Immunization program, initiated in 2010 by Jane Schaller and Sverre O Lee. IPA took part in many meetings of our Member Societies, engaging in fruitful discussions on local and regional programs. We had the
opportunity of writing two comments in very important publications. The first one on January 2011, in The Lancet (jointly prepared with FIGO), on Stillbirths and the second in Pediatrics, invited by Jay Berkelhamer (to be published in January 2012), entitled Overview of the global health issues facing children. Both are papers directed to advocacy on child health what is ultimately one of our most important roles. So, as you can see, we keep moving on and should definitely be happy with ourselves! Nevertheless, in spite of all the hard work and results obtained to this point, IPA is nothing without the full engagement and participation of its Member Societies. Our communications are much better now, including the launching of a new and much functional website and this Electronic Newsletter (by which we are extremely grateful to the hard work from Naveen Tacker and Swati Bhave). We hope to use this improvement in our communication tools, to improve our dialogue and mutual understanding with our members. That's all for now and we take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.
Sergio Cabral President IPA 2010-13.

News from IPA Administration
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Mercury Treaty — Vaccine Issue Overview WHO has brought to the health community attention the fact that the UN Environment Program is negotiating a treaty on mercury and mercury containing products which may limit access to vaccines, by banning the use of thiomersal. Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative used in most multi-dose vaccines (including d PT, H Flu, Influenza, Hep B and menigicoccal disease). Studies show no evidence of harm caused by the low dose of thiomersal in vaccines, all mercury-added pharmaceutical products, including vaccines, are included in a draft list of products to be banned if the treaty is adopted. Abundant data exists supporting safety. A ban would limit the availability of vaccines and result in a negative health impact. According Erin Fry, Government Affairs Officer at PATH, the only organized nongovernmental organization response related to vaccines prior to October, 2011 was from anti-thiomersal groups. In a 'Dear Colleagues' letter, PATH noted that «it is critical that the voice of the public health community be heard so that country delegates to the UNEP understand the public health implications of banning thiomersal.» Since that time, several global health organizations submitted materials, some of which are now available on the UNEP website. Anegotiation meeting recently concluded in Nairobi which included a discussion of thiomersal. WHO provided
a technical briefing and groups on both sides of the issue presented. The majority of countries represented agreed that a thiomersal ban would have negative implications for immunization programs and global health, the issue will likely not be resolved until negotiations conclude in early 2013. PATH has prepared fact sheets about the issue and is coordinating outreach and advocacy efforts. Please contact Erin (efry@path.org) for more information. Dr. Keenan, IPA Executive Director, issued a memo to IPA Standing and Executive Committee Members in November alerting them to this issue and noting that there may be discussion of the use of thimersol for vaccines with their own governments. Pediatric societies are encouraged to inform country level health officials about the issue, encourage health officials to educate country delegates to the UNEP about thiomersal and the potential impact of a ban, and urge the UNEP delegates to rely on scientific evidence from WHO in the committee's decisions about mercury in vaccines. AAP and IPA representatives met with the US State Department in early November along with representatives from the Gates Foundation, PATH, Sabin Institute, Every Child by 2, UN Foundation and others. There were also antithiomersol groups present, advocating for a ban on thimerosal. The US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environment and Sustainable Development said that the US had studied the issues of vaccines and found the WHO
arguments in favor of maintaining thiomersal in vaccines «compelling» and that the US had reached the same conclusions as WHO that a ban is not supported. He said that the US position in the UNEP meetings on the treaty will be against a ban. The UNEP meets next in June 2012. PATH reports that anti-thiomersal advocates are actively
lobbying governments in Africa and South America. Other IPA member countries who have been involved in this issue are also encouraged to send reports to the Dr. Adenike Grange, IPA Vaccine technical Assistance lead (nikegrange@ yahoo.com) and to IPA Executive Director William Keenan (keenanwj@slu.edu).
IPACOLLOBORATION FOR NCD (Non Communicable Diseases)
September 2011 18, New Voic, USA
The United Nations General Assembly hosted a high level meeting September 18 through 21 at their New York headquarters on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). As usual with UN meetings numerous side meetings were hosted by major funders of global health initiatives, NGOs and major corporations. The International Pediatric Association was represented by Dr. Bill Keenan, Executive Director of the IPA, Errol Alden, MD a former of the IPA Standing Committee and chairman of the IPA Foundation Board, Dr. Jonathan Klein, a member of the IPA technical committees for both Adolescent Health and Non-Communicable Diseases and Dr. Louis Cooper, a member of the Immunization technical committee. These representatives attended a variety of meetings hosted by UN and NGO organizations including the Secretary General's Every Woman Every Child Commitment, the Global Health Council, the White Ribbon Alliance, the United Nations Foundation, the World Bank and major corporations. In addition to the NCD theme events, and focused meetings on tobacco control and obesity, IPA was represented in side meetings discussing Child Survival, Immunizations, M-Health priorities, and Workforce issues. The emphasis of many of the NCD summit meetings were heart disease, obesity, cancer and diabetes. While the role that women play in a healthy society received come emphasis, children and adolescents' issues received relatively minor attention. The UN Declaration on NCDs can be found at http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_ doc.asp?symbol=A/66/L.1 IPA representatives used every opportunity in these meetings to emphasize the importance
of NCDs to the well being of children. Several broad areas of emphasis were used in the efforts to advocate for children:
a) Immunizations can greatly influence the incidence of some cancers (ex. Hepatitis B, HPV) and impacts numerous causes of life long disability (ex. Measles, Rubella).
b) Safe deliveries and proper newborn resuscitation will prevent asphyxia deaths and also will prevent chronic disabilities and special health care needs in many children.
c) Proper nutrition, nutritional interventions, avoidance of maternal obesity, smoke free environment, and elimination of alcohol exposure will all reduce the incidence of prematurity (the most common cause of disability) fetal growth delay (associated with increased risk of «adult» diseases, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease and renal disease) and congenital malformations (associated with specific maternal nutritional deficiencies and fetal drug or alcohol exposure.
Each of the four representatives felt that our contacts were receptive to hearing of child and adolescent issues related to NCDs but that much ongoing work is required so that the very cost efficient and effective interventions on behalf of newborns, infant, children and adolescents attain equal regard in global priority, budgeting and goal setting processes.

ways that make it accessible to non-scientists, and to explore the implications of the new science for interventions directed toward adolescents in relation to alcohol use, food consumption, mental health and violence. Together, these issues account for far more than half of all the morbidity in the second decade of life and set the stage for adult noncommunicable conditions (NCCs). This meeting was building on the Resolution on Youth and Health Risks that was adopted at the recent 64th World Health Assembly and the outcome of the High-Level Meeting of the UN General Assembly on non-communicable diseases that took place in September 2011. There were 24 participants from the following countries Bangkok, Brazil, Jamaica, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Nigeria, USA, UK, Vietnam and Switzerland. There was representation from organisations like John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, WHO, PAHO, PATH, and various NGO's like AACCI, PHFI, MAMTA. There were excellent scientific deliberations presented by academicians who were experts in the field. Neurodevelopment during
Adolescence by Linda Spears, The Neurobiology of Addictions by Marc Potenza, Epigenetics by Xiaobin Wang. Implications for the science for mental health promotion by Vikram Patel, obesity prevention by Albert Lee, substance abuse prevention by Maria Elena Medina-Moraand violence prevention by Elizabeth Ward. The group deliberated in working sessions for drafting recommendations for priotorising issues on Adolescent health.

IPA — Children in Disasters
Programme
9-11 March Port au Prince. Haiti
A workshop on «Psychosocial Issues of Children in Disasters» was held by the IPA technical advisory committee on children in humanitarian emergencies, under the direction of Dr. Karen Olness, from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), and Dr. Ronald Eveillard, President of the Haitian Pediatric Society. Participants included 21 Haitian pediatricians, 15 child psychologists, and 5 social workers. The workshop was supported by the International Pediatric Association, Health Frontiers, and CWRU.
Visiting faculty included Karen Olness, MD, Srivieng Pairojkul, MD, Marisa Herran, MD, Marlene Goodfriend, MD,
Kathleen Clegg, MD, Felicite Chatel-Katz, MA, and Mark Cheren, EdD. Local presenters included Dr. Ronald Eveillard, Dr. Edwige Millien, who is a Haitian Psychologist working in schools, and Patricia Landinez, a UNICEF representative.
The workshop coordination was provided by Ms. Felicite Chatel-Katz, from CWRU, in close partnership with Dr. Elsie Pothel Ovile, from the Haitian Pediatric Society. All course materials were translated into French by Felicite Chatel- Katz. Direct translation of talks and discussions was provided on site by Felicite Chatel-Katz and Dr. Jacqueline Gautier, Haitian Pediatrician.
Topics included: The Special Needs of Children Victims of Disasters, The Problem Based Learning (PBL) Methodology, Signs and Symptoms of Trauma in Children, Medical and Psychological Triage, Principles of Epidemiological Assessment, Report on Psychosocial Interventions in Thailand, Helping Rescue Workers Cope with Stress, Rapid Psychosocial Interventions to Foster Resilience, the Role of UNICEF, Sharing from Haitian Pediatricians and Psychologists, The Essential Roles of Education and Schools, Orphans and Unaccompanied Minors, Child Trafficking, Sexual Violence, Safety Issues, and Death and Bereavement.
The Methodology: Didactic lectures were extensively supplemented with problem-based learning (PBL) exercises, skills training and practice. Participants were separated in small groups to reflect on evolving stages of an original case history that had been specially developed to address the needs and resources of Haiti. The methodology required participants to think on their feet and strategize to address complex and evolving situations; it fostered an intensive and interactive learning experience.
The Haitian participants responded extremely well to this PBL methodology and were very engaged. Many commented on the great value of this educational method. Several mentioned that it was the first time they had attended a training program which included pediatricians and child psychologists working in collaboration and that this interaction was extremely valuable.
Many participants had been intensely involved in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake and several had lost family members. They shared their experiences with one another and with faculty. Dr. Mark Cheren facilitated a
wrap up session on future plans. Participants discussed their intention to apply several key content areas in their work. As encouraged, they also shared who they hoped to exchange mutual support with in pursuing such efforts. Several participants indicated their intention to replicate the course within the year.
There were many topics that participants felt would be of immediate value in treating or assisting children who suffered from last year's earthquake and its aftermath. Aparticular highlight was Dr. Pairojkul's description of what was being done on a local, regional and national level for children who had been impacted by the Tsunami, in Thailand, in the way of long term rehabilitation and resiliency training. At the same time, it was striking to hear the extent to which some participants felt this experience also encouraged and supported their thinking about ways they could better prepare for the time when the NGOs will be leaving Haiti, and plan for the management of future disasters, as difficult as it was to contemplate such possibilities at this stage of things. Finally, a few participants commented on the impact of learning about the details of disaster situations that have occurred during the past several years, in other nations. Hearing that others were dealing with so many of the same issues and what they were doing in these various situations helped them to put their own experience in a somewhat different perspective. It enabled them to feel their colleagueship with others engaged in the same critically important work. And they were able to draw strength from this.

The European Paediatric Association (EPA/UNEPSA)
The Union of National European Paediatric Societies and Associations (UNEPSA) was founded in 1976 by 18 European countries. In the first 30 years of its existence UNEPSA created a forum for the mutual discussion of matters concerning paediatrics. Early on it became clear that the diversity of pediatric care in different countries in Europe is extreme. During the «cold war» UNEPSA was able to cross boundaries between socialist and capitalist countries in Europe, and it was due to the activity of individual members of the UNEPSA council that clinical co-operation and research activities were initiated crossing many political borders. In 2007, UNEPSA was renamed European Paediatric Association (EPA/UNEPSA) and a revised constitution was introduced and approved by the General Assembly. EPA/UNEPSA continues the work of UNEPSA and maintains its character and activities. Annual meetings of national pediatric presidents focus on the most urgent problems of pediatric health care. The main research activities of EPA concentrate on identifying the demography of primary, secondary and tertiary care pediatrics in Europe. EPA constantly plans new activities in an effort to demonstrate that it is an active paediatric association counting 40 member countries and representing today more than three quarters of all European countries.
In 2009, EPA/UNEPSA also opened its doors to individual members. Currently EPA recruits international clinical expert teams for examination of urgent clinical issues in their areas of expertise, and for working on solutions to address those, ultimately with new best practice guidelines. This work will be documented on our website (www.epa-unepsa.org) via published meeting reports and consensus statements. We also continue develop our educational activities through our flagship conference Europaediatrics, our participation in Excellence in Paediatrics, and clinical workshops for all general paediatricians and paediatric sub-specialists in Europe.
Following the past congresses held in Rome (2000), Prague (2003), Istanbul (2008) and Moscow (2009) the
5 th Europaediatrics congress was held in Vienna, Austria,
23-26 June 2011 (www.europaediatrics2011.org)
Also, for a third consecutive year, EPA and the Cochrane Collaboration/Child Health Field will actively contribute to the development and delivery of a focused thematic stream in the context of the prestigious annual international conference Excellence in Paediatrics (www.excellence-in-paediatrics.org). Following a focus on nutrition in 2009, and respiratory medicine in 2010, this year's conference to

be held on 2-3rd Dec at Istanbul, Turkey will on pediatric dermatology and particularly the ongoing challenge to help paediatricians acquire the necessary skills to integrate evidence based medicine into their day to day practice. In addition, a new highly interactive version of the EPA website (www.epa-unepsa.org) is currently under development focusing on the concept of «working and learning together». The new website will include utilities for individual members and national societies and up-to-date contents such as news, education through e-learning opportunities and discussion threads for visitors. EPA also runs campaigns for improved paediatric practice across Europe. For the future, EPA has developed novel ideas to stimulate European paediatric innovation, based on modern web technology. These ideas aim to address unmet industrial innovation needs and to stimulate innovative thinking among interested EPA members. Current examples that could quickly be developed into real projects include a paediatric problem solutions exchange, and a web centre for clinical trials that could potentially dramatically speed up paediatric patient recruitment. EPA announced Evidence Based Child Health: A Cochrane Review Journal as the Official Journal of the association at the beginning of 2009. The journal is edited by the paediatric leadership within the Child Health Field of the Cochrane Collaboration and their mission «to ensure that children and adolescents receive effective interventions for the best health outcomes based on up-to-date evidence» is closely aligned with the EPA vision. The Journal provides EPA members the opportunity to benefit from the relevant, timely and topical Cochrane systematic reviews in a
synthesised and easily accessible format. The aim is to allow all readers put evidence-based decision making in their child health practice. EPA/UNESPA also publishes a quarterly e-newsletter which is acessibe through the associations website (www.epa-unepsa.org).
After more than 30 years, EPA/UNEPSA is still an expanding and vital instrument in improving the medical care of all children and the co-operation of their caretakers in Europe.

Section — OBITURY
Niilo Hallman, emeritus professor of paediatrics, University of Helsinki and the former head of the University Children's Hospital died after prolonged illness in Helsinki at 13th January, 2011 in age of 94-years. He was born in Kuopio, Finland at 15th July 1916. Hallman graduated as MD (Univ. Helsinki) in 1943. From 1939, he served as a medical officer in the Finnish army during the war period. He was also active in research from early on, finishing his extraordinary PhD thesis during his MD studies. After war, he found his way straight into paediatrics, which had been his mission since childhood. Already in 1947 he got a U. S. fellowship at the Children's Hospital in Boston as the first research assistant of the recently appointed professor of paediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Charles Janeway. In James Gamble's laboratory he studied pathophysiology of nephrotic syndrome and especially the electrolyte balance. These studies opened the doors to several directions: first of all to paediatric nephrology, where he was one of the founding members of European and international societies and to medical genetics. Prompt application of knowledge resulted striking decrease in the risk of lethal diarrhea during late 40ies and early 50ies in Finland. Few years later he published early studies on congenital nephrotic syndrome. Hallman was appointed to professor of paediatrics (Univ. Helsinki) in 1957 and thus he became also head of the new, large Children's hospital, leading of which required lot of his energy during the years until his retirement in 1983. In addition to his everyday activities as university teacher, paediatrician, hospital manager, scientist and leader of many national societies and organizations Hallman was especially interested in international issues, i. e. developing internationalization
of paediatrics. His first post-war contacts were with Sweden and other Western European countries and with USA. He was a founding member the European Club of Paediatric Research (predecessor of ESPR) in 1953 and European society of his own subspecialty, nephrology. An important forum of internationalization was IPA, which congresses Hallman and a group of Finnish paediatricians attended regularly since the New York meeting in 1947. He was elected treasurer of this society in Mexico in 1968. That was the start of his 30-year career as a board member of IPA in different roles, including treasurer, director, vice-president, president, past president and coordinator. As a member of the board he took the initiative in founding continental-wide paediatric unions for Europe (UNEPSA) and Africa (UNAPSA). The African union needed a lot of supportive activities from the IPA, which was then mediated often by Hallman. His closest friend among IPA leaders was prof. Ihsan Dogramaci: both Hallman and Dogramaci were nephrologists educated by Janeway and both about the same age, thus developing life-long friendship and also cooperation between Turkish and Finnish paediatricians. The activities of IPA initiated Hallman's interest in child health problems in developing countries, which again was the start of the real globalization of Finnish paediatrics. In cooperation with a Finnish child welfare society he established rural health centres in three African countries (Nigeria, Uganda and Malawi) including health education activities and regular maternity and health centres. His son is professor Mikko Hallman in Oulu university (Mikko.Hallman@oulu.fi) submitted by Jarmo Visakorpi, Professor (emeritus) of Paediatrics, University of Tampere, Finland 1,2 & 3 (Combined)

Международная программа по Охране окружающей среды (UNEP). Конвенция по ртути. Обзор выпуска вакцин
ВОЗ обратила внимание медицинского сообщества, что программа ООН по Охране окружающей среды ведет переговоры о ртути и ртутьсодержащих продуктах, которые могут ограничить доступ к вакцинам вследствие запрета на использование тиомерсала. Тиомерсал — это консервант на основе ртути, используемый в большинстве мультидозовых вакцин (в том числе АКДС, грипп, гепатит В и менингококковые заболевания). Ни в одном из исследований не получено доказательств вреда, причиненного низкими дозами тиомерсала в вакцинах. Имеются многочисленные данные, подтверждающие безопасность этих продуктов. Тем не менее, все ртутьсодержащие фармацевтические продукты, в том числе вакцины, включены в проект перечня продуктов, которые будут запрещены, если договор будет принят. Запрет будет ограничивать доступность вакцин и в результате отрицательно скажется на здоровье населения.
По словам Эрин Фрай (Erin Fry), представителя правительства по связям в PATH, только ответ сформированной неправительственной организации относительно использования вакцин до октября 2011 г. носил антитиомерсаль-ную направленность. В письме PATH отметил, что «очень важно, чтобы голос общественного здравоохранения был услышан, чтобы делегаты стран в UNEP понимали последствия запрета тиомерсала для общественного здравоохранения». С тех пор несколько международных медицинских
организаций здравоохранения представили материалы, некоторые из которых сейчас доступны на сайте UNEP В Найроби недавно закончились переговоры, где проходило обсуждение ртутьсодержащего консерванта. ВОЗ провела технический брифинг, на котором были представлены группы с обеих сторон. Большинство представленных стран согласились, что запрет тиомерсала будет иметь негативные последствия для программ иммунизации и здравоохранения во всем мире. Вопрос вряд ли будет решен до завершения переговоров в начале 2013 г. PATH подготовил информационные бюллетени о проблеме и координации пропагандистской и просветительской деятельности.
Для получения дополнительной информации необходимо связаться с Эрин (Erin) (efry@path.org).
Доктор Кинан (Keenan), исполнительный директор IPA, в памятках для членов Постоянного и Исполнительного комитетов IPA уведомлял, что вопрос об использовании тиомерсала для вакцин может обсуждаться с их собственными правительствами. Педиатрическим обществам предлагается информировать органы здравоохранения своих стран о проблеме, поощрять работников здравоохранения по обучению делегатов стран на UNEP по вопросам тиомерсала и потенциальном значении запрета, и настоятельно призывать делегатов UNEP опираться на научные данные ВОЗ в принятии решений комиссии по использованию ртути в вакцинах.
Представители ААР и IPA в начале ноября встретились с государственным департаментом США совместно с представителями Фонда Гейтса, PATH, института Sabin, Every
Child by 2, Фонда ООН и другими. Были также представители групп антитиомерсал, выступающих за запрет препарата. Заместитель помощника госсекретаря США по вопросам окружающей среды и устойчивого развития заявил, что в США изучили вопросы вакцин, нашли аргументы ВОЗ в пользу сохранения тиомерсала в вакцинах «убедительными», пришли к тем же выводам, что и ВОЗ, и запрет не поддерживают. Решено, что на заседании UNEP по договору США будет выступать против запрета. Следующее заседание UNEP должно состояться в июне 2012 г.
PATH сообщает, что противники тиомерсала активно лоббируют правительства в Африке и Южной Америке. Другим странам — членам IPA, принимавшим участие в этом вопросе, рекомендуется отправить отчеты доктору Аденик Гранж (Adenike Grange).

Представители IPA приняли участие в различных совещаниях, организованных ООН и такими неправительственными организациями, как комитет «Каждая женщина, каждый ребенок», Всемирный совет по здравоохранению, альянс «Белая лента», Всемирный банк и др. В дополнение к мероприятиям по теме NCD и тематическим совещаниям по борьбе против табака и ожирения IPA участвовала в совещаниях, посвященных обсуждению тем по выживанию детей, иммунизации, приоритетов тысячелетия в области здравоохранения и кадровым вопросам.
На заседаниях по неинфекционным заболеваниям акцент был сделан на болезнях сердца, ожирении, раке и диабете. В то время, как роли женщины в здоровом обществе было уделено большое внимание, темы, посвященные детям и проблемам подростков, вызвали не столь высокую заинтересованность.
Декларацию ООН по борьбе с неинфекционными заболеваниями (NCD) можно найти на сайте http://www. un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/66/L.1
Представители IPA использовали любую возможность на этих встречах, чтобы подчеркнуть важность NCD для благополучия детей. С целью защиты интересов детей было привлечено внимание к ряду других важных вопросов:
• прививки могут существенно влиять на частоту некоторых видов рака (например, вакцинация против гепатита В и папилломавируса человека) и развитию болезней, потенциально инвалидизирующих на всю оставшуюся жизнь (например, корь, краснуха);
• безопасные роды и правильная реанимация новорожденных позволят предотвратить смерть от асфиксии, а также избежать специфического лечения и развития хронических заболеваний у многих детей;
• правильное питание, пищевые добавки, предотвращение материнского ожирения, свободная от табачного дыма окружающая среда и устранение воздействия алкоголя — эти мероприятия способствуют снижению частоты рождения недоношенных младенцев (наиболее частая причина инвалидности), задержки внутриутробного развития (повышенный риск развития «взрослых болезней», включая ожирение, диабет, болезни сердца и почек) и врожденных пороков развития (определенные недостатки питания матери и воздействие на плод наркотиков или алкоголя). Таким образом, текущая работа Ассоциации необходима для того, чтобы выгодные по цене и эффективные мероприятия во имя новорожденных, младенцев, детей и подростков получили равное к себе отношение в глобальных приоритетах при составлении бюджета и в процессе достижения целей.

Новости Международной педиатрической ассоциации из Американской академии педиатрии о борьбе против табака
AAP и IPA продолжают работать над инициативой ВОЗ по освобождению от табака западной части Тихоокеанского региона и развивать усилия по борьбе с курением среди детей в странах Азии и Тихоокеанского региона.
Доктора Кляйн и Кинан (Klein и Keenan) приняли участие в заседании Генеральной Ассамблеи ООН, посвященном мероприятиям по борьбе с курением и другими неинфекционными заболеваниями в сентябре 2011 года. На сессии, финансированной Глобал Бриджес (Global Bridges), Мэйо Клиник (Mayo Clinic) была предложена всемирная инициатива по помощи в лечении от табачной зависимости и пропаганде эффективной политики борьбы против табака. Доктор Кляйн рассказал о важности включения лидеров по борьбе за здоровье детей во взрослые кампании по контролю над курением. Продолжаются переговоры с Global Bridges с целью определения помощи в подготовке педиатров для пропаганды против использования табака и пассивного курения в странах-членах IPA и на региональных мероприятиях.
В Индии, совместно с Индийской академией педиатрии, в 2009 г. приступили к реализации программы по контролю за табакокурением 1РАААР. Президент Индийской академии определил борьбу против курения в 2011 г. как часть 5-летней программы.
Просветительский компакт-диск для школьников о вреде табака был разработан IРА при участии Ассоциации здоровья подростков и детей в Индии. Диск будет запущен в действие президентом, доктором Т. и. Зикитагап в ноябре 2011 г. и будет направлен во все города и штаты, а также в детские отделения медицинских колледжей в Индии для использования в школьных программах здравоохранения. Заседание, посвященное пропаганде борьбы против табака, состоится во время ежегодной конференции IРА в январе
