JAI IAP, JAI HIND.


Dear Fellow Academicians,

It is a great pleasure to write this message and reach you

through January-March issue of Academy Today. I sincerely

thank all of you, for giving me an opportunity to serve the

Academy as the National President, 2010. I feel very proud

to say that I have got tremendous support from all the

members from across the country.

I feel satisfied that the contribution of the team of 2010 in

child health related issues was visible. The team 2010 could

address problems related to Under 5 mortality through

programs on major contributors to Under 5 mortality in India

viz. RTI GEM, Comprehensive Diarrhoea Management

Program, NRP FGM, NSSK, Ask IAP, ASOV and revision of

SAM guidelines etc. I am extremely thankful to

Dr. Sukumaran for allowing these programs to continue in

the year 2011

The team took activities for people beyond its membership.

BLS program for paramedical personnel and lay persons

was launched in third quarter of the year. I wish the team all

the best to take it forward.

Parvarish, a TV program on parenting was very well

appreciated by masses across the country. To add to this

IAP came out with manual and module on Parenting. The

Parenting material is appreciated by all quarters of society.

I am happy that two of the publications viz. Nephrology

Book and PICU Protocols were released during Pedicon

From the Desk of Dr. Deepak Ugra,IAP President 2010

2011. Four more will be released mostly in first half of 2011

viz. Neonatology, NICU Protocols, Endocrinology and

Clinical Pediatrics.

Collaboration with other international associations has been

very successful. We have successfully organized MRCPCH

theory examinations and mock practical examinations in

India. We also had successful IAP AAP CME and IAP RCPCH

CMEs

Each New Year brings fresh expectations and I am sure

we would be able to meet them working together with

the team selected by Dr. T.U. Sukumaran for IAP Action

Plan 2011.

The year 2011 has begun with the awesome “PEDICON

2011” at Jaipur. The venue with state of art facilities was

simply superb and the scientific programs were very well

crafted to the need of both practicing pediatricians and post

graduate students. I congratulate organizing team of Pedicon

2011 lead by Dr. B.S. Sharma and anchored by Dr. Tarun

Patni for meticulous planning and all hard work that has

gone in to make this event a grand success.

Let us all work with full dedication towards our Mission

Statement and IAP Action Plan 2011. I wish Dr. Sukumaran

all the best for a very fruitful 2011.

Let all of us take our Academy to the next level of Glory.

Jai Hind! Jai IAP!


From the Desk of Dr. Rohit C. Agrawal,IAP President 2012

Dear Fellow academician

Greetings from the President Elect with loads of wishes for

a happy, prosperous and joyous year ahead

At the outset let me profusely thank you all for getting me

elected to the coveted post of President Elect.

I must congratulate Dr. T U Sukumaran for taking over the

helm of affairs of this large and one of the most honored

academic societies in the medical world. His simplicity,

humbleness and academic wisdom will defiantly take IAP

to more academic heights. He has already unfolded many

activities under his presidential action plan which would

definitely be very useful for PGs, practicing and institutional

pediatrician.

I must compliment Dr. Deepak Ugra the IPP for steering the

IAP with brilliance. Out of many programs under his

leadership the most memorable would be pedicon 2010

and “Parvarish” the tele show

Friends, IAP is not a union nor an association or even a

society; but it is an “Academy” i.e. a congress of

academicians’ congramulated for the cause of child health

with goals of persuasion of knowledge only. For me it is

“Mother Teacher” and we all should love and respect our

mother. Unfortunately in recent past it is being getting

embroiled in the political turbulence, legalities, tribunals and

court culture, which I am afraid if not curbed in the nib

would prove disastrous to our academy I request you all to

pledge to work pragmatically for positive and constructive

cause so that our IAP shines at the international arena.

I too have some good programs under my belt for you to

keep guessing till the next AT gets published. I can only

promise that I will strive hard–n-hard for the cause of IAP

and every child of the nation by reaching every unreached

pediatrician through academics-n-academics only. I pray

to almighty to keep our mother teacher IAP always blessed

Dear Colleagues

Greetings from Agra, the city of The Taj!

I am most grateful to all of you, especially to the respected

members of the Executive Board and the Office Bearers of

the IAP, for electing me to this chair of Vice President.

I accept this responsibility with all humility.

Last year, while participating in the International Congress

of Pediatrics (IPA) at Johannesberg and the Asian Congress

of Pediatric Infectious Diseases (ACPID) at Taipei, I was

delighted to note the respect which IAP enjoys in the

international community. With more than 18, 000 members,

I am confident that our scientific contributions can take IAP

to even greater heights. Towards achieving this goal, it is

important that emphasis be laid on clinical research. Even

without the backup of high tech. laboratories, we can

conduct clinical studies on the day to day problems that

we encounter, and present/ publish them.

May I request all branches/ chapters of IAP to organise

CMEs/workshops/symposia at the local level to update all

their members as it is less than 1/3rd of the total members

of IAP who are able to participate in the annual conference

(Pedicon) every year. Further, it is equally important that all

branches of IAP work closely with govt. agencies to reduce

morbidity and mortality of the diseases relevant to their

respective areas.

The MRCPCH examination has commenced in our

country due to the untiring efforts of our senior members.

I wish to request all post-graduates (whether they possess

an MD/DCH/DNB or not) to take this examination which is

internationally acclaimed and now available at our door

step.

The IAP Action Plan2011 is indeed, very innovative. I appeal

to all members of IAP to contribute in its effective

implementation.

Before I close, friends, I look forward to receiving your

valuable suggestions and guidance.

Once again, I would like to thank you for electing me as the

National Vice President for the year 2011.


The year 2010 has indeed been a milestone year for our

Indian Academy of Pediatrics.

It began on a very auspicious note with the signing of an

MoU for collaboration between the Royal College of

Physicians and Child Health and the IAP, under the aegis of

which, IAP and RCPCH joined hands in conducting the

MRCPCH exams in India. Part I was conducted successfully

in 2010 at 5 centers, namely, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata,

Mumbai and New Delhi several candidates appeared for

the exam. Part II exam is scheduled for and a mock clinical

exam with participation of potential examiners from India

and candidates who have already cleared the previous parts

was conducted successfully jointly by IAP and RCPCH at

the Leelavati hospital, Mumbai on 15th and 16th January

2011. This year we expect the exams to gather momentum

with many more centers par ticipating and many more

candidates appearing for the exam. Details of the exam and

about RCPCH are available on our website www.iapindia.org

and are being regularly updated by us. We have also

successfully conducted the 2nd joint IAP-RCPCH CME.

Our activities with the other International bodies have been

no less! With AAP we have been collaborating to create

regional trainers in NRP and we had a regional trainers’

training in NRP at Hyderabad during Pedicon 2010, where

107 trainers participated with faculty from AAP, LDSC and

IAP; the same was conducted again this year on 18th and

19th January. Meanwhile NRP training activities have been

going on in full swing in the public sector in coordination

with the local and central government bodies and the NRHM

departments all over the country, and in the private sector

in collaboration with M/s Johnson & Johnson; the NRP

activities have seen a sustained momentum thanks to the

tireless efforts of our past Presidents Dr Panna Choudhury

and Dr Naveen Thacker and continuous support of our

erstwhile Presidents in office. We also successfully

conducted the IAP AAP CME 2011, which was a grand

success and look forward to many more levels of

collaboration with AAP this year.

IAP also participated in the IPA MDG Champions Workshop

conducted by the International Pediatrics Association, in

Johannesburg, S. Africa, in August 2010. Subsequently,

IAP also celebrated the World Pneumonia Day on an

immense scale on 12th November 2010, under the directive

of IPA, with almost 40 branches from all over the country

participating and release of a poster depicting pneumonia

as an important silent killer in children, and more 35 press

reports in newspapers all over the country.

IAP conducted the district level Diarrhea Zinc workshops

jointly with UNICEF; all over the country in 2010. With

UNICEF, IAP also conducted its first National Consultative

Meeting on Severe Acute Malnutrition on 16th & 17th October

2010, after which draft guidelines are being reshaped for

IAP to come out with its final guidelines.

With WHO, IAP convened its first National Consultative

Meeting on preparation of an Essential Medicines List for

Children, to be submitted to the Govt. of India, on

17th October 2010. Office Bearers of about 15-20 pediatric

Subspecialties and State Branches par ticipated in this

meeting and subsequently IAP has submitted its technical

report to WHO; this work will be carried forward in 2011 till

IAP and WHO together prepare the final EMLc and submit

the recommendations to the Government for making

Essential Medicines available in all parts of the country in

the public and private sector and rational prescription

practices.

At the home front, the IAP Action Plan 2010 was in full

swing! We successfully conducted 31 RTI-GEM workshops

all over the country and also signed MoU’s for relaunching

two immensely successful ASKIAP program and the ASOV

program, and launching a new program - the

Comprehensive Diarrhea management Program. The unique

Your Secretary Reports…


and immensely successful program launched by our

President this year, was the TV program, Parvarish, on prime

time Zee TV, where IAP members and star personalities

from Bollywood sat down together and discussed vital child

rearing issues – the program was well received by parents

all across the country.

The National Consultative Meeting of preparation of IAP

Growth monitoring was successfully conducted in April

2010, with experts from all over India deliberating on various

aspects of preparation of reference standards of IAP for

growth and development of Indian children; the guidelines

are in the process of being given their final shape Likewise,

a National Consultative Meeting on Parenting was also

hosted at Bareilly earlier, last year, in which, experts on

Child and Adolescent Counseling came from all over India

to prepare a teaching module on Parenting Skills; a large

number of parents and teachers also participated in this

meeting and the Parenting module was posted to all

18,000+ IAP members with Annual Report PALS activities

continued in full swing as in the previous years, and two

new BLS course were formulated and field tested this year

– a BLS course for paramedical personnel and a BLS

course for lay persons; these were conducted at Jaipur

Pedicon 2011.

The college rounds, divisional rounds and zonal rounds of

the IAP UG Quiz and IAP PG Quiz were all successfully

conducted all over the country.

As in the previous years, IAP published two issues of our

in-house newsletter, IAP Bulletin, Academy Today, the Jan-

Mar 2010 issue and the Jul-Sep 2010 issue.

We added 752 new members to IAP this year bringing it to

a total of 18552 members.

The Central IAP conducted its two Executive Board meetings

successfully; the 1st meeting was held at Hyderabad during

Pedicon 2010 and the 2nd meeting was held Srinagar.

The IAP Pediatric Drug Formulary was send as

complimentary copies to all the member countries of IPA.

The Annual Report along with Parenting Module was sent

to all the members of IAP.

Hence the year 2010, was indeed a fruitful year which took

IAP ahead by leaps and bounds!

STOP PRESS

The IAP Kutch, IAP COI and CHF have been working on development of system for disease surveillance for the

vaccine preventable disease in Kutch, Mumbai and India.

We have developed a web based and sms based disease reporting system for vaccine preventable diseases

in India.

IAP members can report diseases using either the sms service or the internet. The primary objective of the

project is to generate data on the disease burden of vaccine preventable diseases in India. It can also act as

Early Warning System

The purpose of the national vaccination programme is not merely to distribute vaccines but to prevent diseases at

the individual child level and control diseases at the community level. The national programme does not have

internal capacity to monitor the impact of vaccinations. A well planned vaccine-preventable diseases surveillance

project will fill that gap, at least in part, in one geographic community.

For details of how the system works and how a member can report a case, please visit www.idsurv.org

HODs to the Fore!

Dear Colleague:

I consider it a rare privilege that I

have been nominated as the National

Convener of the HOD Cell of IAP.

I am thankful to our new President

Dr. T. U. Sukumaran, Dr. Rajeshwar

Dayal, Chairman of HOD Cell and all the Executive Board

members for giving me this chance to serve you.

The opening up of the education sector has led to the

birth of innumerable new medical colleges all over the

country. As a result the number of HODs is increasing

in strength day by day and today HODs are in a powerful

position to make a solid impact in IAP Program.

Being in the heart of academics, HODs enjoy very high

credibility and the opportunities are immense for us to

mould the students, foster research and facilitate high

level professional interaction. These measures have the

potential to strengthen IAP at the core level. Hence the

need of the hour is to encourage greater interaction

between HODs of various colleges and increase

HOD involvement in IAP programmes and activities,

especially in state and national conferences.

For this purpose I propose to bring out an exclusive

newsletter meant for HODs where you can, express

your views and also learn about upcoming IAP

programmes. Yet another good idea would be to

establish an HOD e-mail group whereby we can keep

in constant touch with each other.

Our interaction could also take the form of exchanging

information regarding fellowship programmes, of

Pediatric specialties available at various centers for our

post graduates, MRCP training program and exams.

As IAP is proposing to have various disease registry

like Hyper tension registry obesity registry, and

Kawasaki registry, we HOD can help to collect the data.

We now have regular satellite-linked CMEs and HODs

are well advised to download the same and pass on the

benefit to post graduate students working in your sphere.

In conclusion, I once again appeal to all HODs to

strengthen IAP and lets take Academy to next level in

coming years.

With Best Wishes

Dr. Santhosh T. Soans

National Convener - IAP HOD Cell

HODs to the Fore!

Dr. Raj Bhandari from Palliative Care Centre at Tata Memorial

Hospital is a pediatrician and he has collaborated with the

Palliative Care Center at Tata Memorial Hospital, Parel. Over

the last several years, his experience has ranged from

pediatric practice to consulting and implementing several

Country Coordinator for the Child Pediatric Care project of

Indian Association of Palliative Care.

For this noble cause he has requested all our members to

fill-up the questionnaire on pediatric palliative care in their

own practice. Hereby, we are printing a small preamble for

the same and the questionnaire sent by him. We request all

our members to kindly spare few minutes to fill-up this


questionnaire and send it to Central IAP office. We will be

grateful if you can send it as early as possible.

Thanking you.

Indian Academy of Pediatrics

Preamble

Several children in India suffer from incurable and debilitating

diseases. Apart from physical pain, these cause social,

emotional, financial and spiritual issues, both for the child

and his/her family.

Palliative care aims at diminishing the anguish of such

patients. It can improve the quality of life by employing

“Active total care”, treating pain and other symptoms and

offering social, emotional and spiritual support to children

and their families.

The Child Palliative Care Unit is an arm of the Indian

Association of Palliative Care, set up in 1994 in consultation

with WHO and GoI.

Our mission:

To assess needs of palliative care of pediatric patients with

HIV and other life-limiting diseases

1. To promote affordable and quality palliative care across

the country through networking and support to palliative

care institutions

2. To develop models of pediatric palliative care that are

suitable to the needs of the children. The models have

to be sustainable and adaptable to the indigenous

settings

Pediatric palliative care: ACT now

Chintu’s 9-year long life was a nightmare. For him and

everyone around him. Apart from being an unaffordable

expense for his parents, the treatment was a lost hope for

his loved ones. They lived in fear, pain and angst. Chintu

was not the only such child in India with a life threatening

condition. There are several like him, whose families believe

that they are cursed for life. What do they do? They die

with pain. Should they?

Ask… as healthcare providers, let us ask ourselves

� Are we aware of the issues faced by such children and

their families- their suffering, needs and symptom

burdens?

� Are we able to provide the best possible care for our

young patients when their condition is no longer

curable?

Know… what Pediatric palliative care is

Palliative care for children or Aggressive Comfort Treatment

(ACT) is the total care of the child’s body, mind and spirit,

and also involves giving support to the family.

It begins when illness is diagnosed, and continues

regardless of whether or not a child receives treatment

directed at the disease.

Effective palliative care requires a broad multidisciplinary

approach that includes the family and makes use of available

community resources; it can be successfully implemented

even if resources are limited.

It can be provided in tertiary care facilities, in community

health centres and even in children’s homes.

ACT proposes aggressive symptom management with

attention to psychosocial and spiritual needs. Allowing the

individual and family to have a voice in the dying process,

palliation is pursued just as aggressively as cure once was.

Learn… the basic components of ACT

• Respect for the Dignity of Patients and Families

• Access to Competent and Compassionate Palliative Care

• Support for the Professional Caregivers

• Improved Professional and Social Support for Pediatric

Palliative Care

Chapter of IAP”

Indian Academy of Pediatrics is committed to child healthand one of its many ways is breastfeeding protection andscientific propagation of infant and young child feeding. Itendorses the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milkSubstitutes and abides by Indian IMS Act. Under that contextwe strongly propagate that any individual / association /alike (including “health care organization” and “healthworker”) CAN NOT take sponsorship / favors / collaboratein direct / indirect way or be a part of such activity /transactions or get involved in direct / indirect promotionfrom / of the manufacturers / companies / traders / theirliaison / surveyors and alike who are dealing / concernedwith IMS Act.

According to the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottlesand Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply andDistribution) Act, 1992 as Amended in 2003 (Act enactedby Indian parliament)

• “infant milk substitute” means any food being marketedor otherwise represented as a par tial or totalreplacement for mother’s milk, for infant up to the ageof two years

• “infant food” means any food (by whatever name called)being marketed or otherwise represented as acomplement to mother’s milk to meet the growingnutritional needs of the infant after the age of six monthsand up to the age of two years

• “feeding bottle” means any bottle or receptacle usedfor the purpose of feeding infant milk substitutes, andincludes a teat and a valve attached or capable of beingattached to such bottle or receptacle;

• “container” means a box, bottle, casket, tin, can, barrel,case, tube, receptacle, sack, wrapper or other thing inwhich any infant milk substitute, feeding bottle or infantfood is placed or packed for sale or distribution;

• “health care system” means an institution ororganization engaged, either directly or indirectly, inhealth care for mothers, infants or pregnant women,and includes a health workers in private practice, apharmacy, drug store and any association of healthworkers;

• “health worker” means a person engaged in health carefor mothers, infants or pregnant women;

The WHO Code specifically includes dummies and breastpumps also.

As per search on drug compendium like IDR and word ofmouth from colleagues, Raptakos, Nestle, Mead-Johnson,Wockhardt, Dalmia, and FDC are marketing productsincluded under the Act.

We interpret that the vision of the IMS Act also extrapolatesto any dairy also such as AMUL whose products are beingused by parents as IMS by themselves. Internationalmanufacturers, though not marketing IMS products in India,e.g. Heinz Nutrition, Abbott, Nutrition, Wyeth Nutrition butmarkets other nutrition products should also be a part ofthe list. Numico, Asda, Boots, Safeway, Morrisons,Sainsbury’s, Tesco have been found to violate the Code inother countries.

In addition we would recommend excluding:

• Any company which procures personal data fromparents / health workers / health organizations andprovides this on to third parties, not in keeping withethical policy congruent to the vision of the Act.

• Any company which promotes the telephone “carelines/ helplines” of breast milk / infant food substitutemanufacturers in any of their activities.

We also strongly recommend our members to refrain fromdirectly or indirectly involving in activities by such abovedescribed companies and alike which are propagated to be“abiding by IMS Act”. Actually they work on the loop holesof the Act. We suggest them to kindly keep before theirconscience the spirit, vision and purpose of the IMS Act.Because this act is applicable to all citizens of India withoutreferring membership of any organization. The organizationsor academies are committed to it. Moreover this act iscognizable one.
