Babies and Animals: Pediatricians meet Veterinarians 2017

A multidisciplinary approach is an important strategy to increase and enhance collaboration and communication about all aspects of health care for children and animals. That’s why we are planning a conference in Turin to achieve a synergism and exchange of scientific knowledge between pediatricians and veterinarians in order to improve medical education for children and disclose unanswered questions. 200+ people are expected to attend and top speakers from all over the world in different areas of pediatrics and veterinary medicine will answer the most frequent questions from the latest scientific data and their personal expertise. Animals play a crucial role in infancy since they are often part of a family; moreover farm animals play a significant contribution to baby health. For these reasons it is important to focus on a "one health"-type approach especially when dealing with zoonotic diseases, antibiotic resistance and animal welfare. It's important to integrate all the information about the prevention, health and safety concepts to ensure the baby well being. Last but not least, Torino is one the Italy’s largest city and has an illustrious past, resulting in elegant squares, world-class museums and historic cafés, flanked by some 18km of colonnaded walkways. Turin is affordable, green, easy to get around as a place to experience Italian culture.
