AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics)

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is a professional organization of pediatricians dedicated to the health and well-being of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Founded in 1930, the AAP provides guidelines, resources, and support for pediatric healthcare providers to ensure quality care and promote child health policies. It conducts research, advocates for children's health issues, and offers education to both medical professionals and the public. The AAP also issues recommendations on various aspects of child health, such as vaccinations, nutrition, and safety, to guide parents and caregivers in making informed decisions for their children's well-being.
