IPEG Stands with Ukraine
The Executive Committee of the International Pediatric Endosurgery Group condemns the military actions by the Russian Government in the Ukraine. This attack on a sovereign nation is not consistent with the values and principles of IPEG and the international medical community. As an international organization dedicated to enhancing child health through education and access to minimally invasive surgery for all children of the world, we stand in solidarity with our Ukrainian friends, colleagues, children, and people.
