The World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS) was established in Paris, in September 1997. It arose from the vision of several world leaders in the field of pediatric critical care who saw the opportunity to combine international expertise, experience and influence to improve the outcomes of children suffering from life threatening illness and injury.

It was recognized that, by connecting national societies into an international network, they could achieve more than any one nation working alone. They envisioned a global community that would further research and distribute knowledge needed to care for critically ill infants and children. Working together, the Federation can set priorities, provide resources to pursue new knowledge and link working groups around the world to build on current research. It can also host forums for discussion on how these research findings can be adapted and implemented to provide options for practitioners in a range of settings around the world.

WFPICCS is committed to a global environment in which all children have access to intensive and critical care of the highest standard. With this in mind, WFPICCS has defined its mission as exclusively educational, scientific and charitable in nature. It exists to find ways of improving the care of critically ill children throughout the world, and make that knowledge available to those who care for the children.

Currently, WFPICCS has over 25 national, international and regional member societies representing over 10,000 pediatric and neonatal critical care physicians, nurses and allied health care workers. The spirit of the Federation is embedded in the close relationship and working together with colleagues around the world to achieve our mission.

通过连接到一个国际网络社会中可以达到比单独工作更突出的工作效率。小儿危重医学会国际联盟（WFPICCS）作为一个全球社会，将进一步研究和分享儿科危重医学领域的新知识。通过共同努力，该国际联盟可以设定优先权，提供资源，探索新知识和联系世界各地的工作组开展科研工作。它以国际联盟身份举办相关国际论坛来探讨研究结果如何应用和临床实践并为世界各地的儿科医生提供指导。

WFPICCS是致力于全球环境，使所有危重症儿童都能接受最高标准治疗和照护。基于这一点，WFPICCS确定了其作为专门的教育，科学和慈善性质的任务。它的成立是为了寻找改善全球的危重患儿的护理方法，并使这种方法得到推广，尤其对危重症患儿进行照护的人员。

目前，WFPICCS有包括超过25个国家，国际和地区成员协会，他们代表10000余名儿科及新生儿重症监护医生，护士和专职医疗保健工作者。该国际联盟的精神，通过密切的联系，与世界各地的同仁一起努力实现最终的使命。
