Pediatric standards are set by various professional organizations and health authorities. In the United States, the [American Academy of Pediatrics](https://www.aap.org) (AAP) plays a significant role in developing these standards. Internationally, organizations like the [World Health Organization](https://www.who.int) (WHO) and the [International Pediatric Association](https://www.ipa-world.org) (IPA) contribute to the establishment of global pediatric guidelines.
