Parent & Children Committee

The MEPOS Parent & Children Committee is a dedicated subcommittee of the Middle East Paediatric Orthopaedic Society, focused on strengthening the partnership between healthcare professionals, children with musculoskeletal conditions, and their families across the Middle East.

The subcommittee supports family-centred paediatric orthopaedic care by promoting education, awareness, advocacy, and communication between parents, caregivers, patients, and paediatric orthopaedic specialists.

Through patient and parent support groups, educational initiatives, and community engagement, the committee aims to improve awareness, encourage early intervention, and support better outcomes for children living with orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions.
