The Asia Pacific region has nearly 60% of the world’s population. There is considerable diversity in the region in terms of economic advancement, human development, and therefore, profile and spectrum of pediatric disease. A number of less advanced and most densely populated nations in the region have relatively high birth rates and high proportion of children and young adults. As a result, the Asia‑Pacific region has even higher proportion of the world’s children living in the region. The development of advanced pediatric cardiac care in a region, in some ways, can be considered as a surrogate of the overall advancement and sophistication of healthcare services in the region.

It took several years with a lot of discussions of country delegates for establish Asia‑Pacific Pediatric Cardiology Society (APPCS). Several meetings have been held among founding members of the Society and finally The Asia-Pacific Pediatric Cardiac Society (APPCS) was established in 2005 with the aim of promoting the study and sharing of knowledge on pediatric and congenital cardiovascular disease, with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region. APPCS seeks to encourage scientific collaboration, evidence-based research, and the exchange of professionals and trainees among member countries and globally.
