Expectations from the VIPPN project      

When I envisioned the VIPPN in 2004, it was to be a common "meeting room? For members of the Pediatric Assembly, an opportunity for the many national pediatric pulmonary organisations to have a "home" and an opportunity for a web presence if they did not already have a web site, and a means to communicate and collaborate especially as relates to education and research. I am delighted that the VIPPN is now a reality and starting to fulfill this great promise.
