TEDDY NETWORK
The first European network of excellence in paediatric research, to promote the development of paediatric medicines and engagement of children in health, biomedical innovation, and research
TEDDY is a non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing paediatric research with a mission to promote children’s well-being and foster safe, effective therapies for young patients. We work to integrate paediatric health research into both national and international frameworks, ensuring that children’s fundamental rights, such as equal access to healthcare and proper education on medicines, are protected. We are focused on advocating for children’s rights in healthcare, supporting equal access to therapies and medical education and engaging children and young patients in clinical research decisions through their empowerment and advocacy efforts.
Promoting equal access to paediatric medicines and health products
TEDDY is committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of their background or location, have equal access to paediatric medicines and health products tailored to their specific needs. This supports their right to receive the highest quality care and treatments.
Promoting paediatric research with the highest ethical and methodological standards
TEDDY advocates for paediatric research that upholds the strictest ethical standards and rigorous methodologies. The goal is to drive the development of innovative therapies that address unmet medical needs while safeguarding the rights and well-being of young patients.
Engaging children and young patients in health-related decisions
TEDDY prioritises the involvement of children and young patients in decisions concerning their health. This approach helps raise awareness among healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers about the unique needs and perspectives of children in healthcare.
Fostering stakeholder commitment through collaborative networks
TEDDY fosters collaboration among a wide range of stakeholders, including researchers, healthcare providers, and policymakers, to drive paediatric research forward. By building strong collaborative networks and research projects, the Network ensures a unified commitment to advancing children’s health.
