Welcome to CAPGHAN

Empowering child health across the Commonwealth

Advancing knowledge and training in paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition, especially in resource-limited countries.

Through collaborative education, training and research, we hold regular scientific meetings where health professionals share knowledge, exchange ideas and drive innovation in paediatric healthcare. We also give authoritative advice to national and international bodies to help inform policy and practice.

We are part of the Federation of International Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (FISPGHAN)
