Ask The Paediatricians Foundation started as an online Facebook Group on the 20th July 2015 by Dr. Gbemisola Boyede, Consultant Paediatrician then at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos, Nigeria.

What started as one woman's passion to educate mothers on child health issues on social media has now metamorphosed into a full-fledged non-governmental organization registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria in July 2017.

Their Vision at Ask The Paediatricians Foundation is to promote good health and well-being of children globally; especially in Nigeria and Africa in keeping with the Sustainable Development Goal 3.

Their mission is to provide evidence-based health education and information to parents and carers of children; support vulnerable children through community medical outreaches and other social projects; and empowering and training healthcare professionals working with children.
