International Pediatric Hypertension Association

The International Pediatric Hypertension Association (IPHA) is an organization that brings together a multispecialty, multidisciplinary group of health care providers and scientists committed to delineating the origins and manifestations of hypertension in children and improving the care of children and young adults affected by this condition. Toward that end, IPHA has established a three-fold mission to: foster and maintain an open forum among pediatric hypertension healthcare professionals worldwide; participate in research initiatives promoting improved treatment of the hypertensive patient; educate healthcare professionals and the lay public about the ramifications of childhood hypertension.
