Words from the president
Welcome to EUROKIDS society website. My name is Isabelle Koné-Paut, I am pediatric rheumatologist and the new elected president.
Kawasaki disease remains a complex condition for which there are still many unmet needs. Among them, accelerating early diagnosis and prevent cardiac complication in all patients are priorities.
Our ambition is to catalyze bold projects in Kawasaki disease, encourage open research, and make our society a place for experimentation and training. . I firmly believe that innovation stems from dialogue between disciplines and generations. We have created an inclusive community where students, doctoral candidates, and young professionals can find mentoring, presentation opportunities, and career development support.
Please join us to share ideas that will make a difference.
Contact us or come to our upcoming events.
