2 IAP BULLETIN Volume 6 Issue 2 July-Sept 2010

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

Dear Fellow Academicians,

Greetings from Mumbai.

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

through July-September issue of Academy Today. Last year

around same time I wrote that your duty is not over choosing

me for the post of President IAP 2010. It continues through

my tenure and thereafter for years to come. I feel very proud

to say that I have got tremendous support from all the

members from across the country.

We started the year with our will to work towards our

Mission Statement and to contribute to Health and well being

of all children. We are all aware that we are going through a

time where our country is grouped along with those

countries which can not achieve Millennium Development

Goals. As a responsible citizen of our country and equipped

with skills to help achieving goals, it is the duty of each and

every member of our Academy to work whole heartedly

towards these goals. Friends, I am confident that our efforts

will definitely make a difference. It is a pride moment for

me to share with you that entire Academy has taken the

mission of Neonatal Resuscitation Program-First Golden

Minute and Navajat Suraksha Karyakram very seriously and

workshops are being conducted across the length and width

of the country. It is a matter of pride for Academy that many

state governments are inviting IAP to conduct NSSK in

respective states.

It is now time for all of us to review the progress made in

IAP Action Plan 2010 till now. Friends this year we have

also decided to look into areas which may not contribute to

child mortality, but, are very important part of child health.

One of this area is Parenting. It gives me pleasure to

announce that IAP Happy Parenting Program is launched in

a grand way at Bareilly on April 25th 2010. Further to it a

copy of the Book on Happy Parenting along with a CD of

the module will be sent to all members very soon. Members

are requested to conduct Happy Parenting workshops at

their local cities with the help of initial select pool of Faculty

Members. We are in the process of making flash out of

these presentations, which will also be sent to all members

to play in waiting halls of their clinics and hospitals. By the

time you all receive this edition of Academy Today our TV

show “Parvarish” would already be aired. We are in the

process of publishing articles on child health and parenting

related issues in print media. Very soon we will be able to

take Parent Education to next level.

There are many questions that NGOs ask and we are unable

to answer. Many of these questions are from the field of

Immunization. IAP has decided to continue with ASOV

program with revised module and inclusion of newer

vaccines. This year we will have one ToT and 40 workshops.

The workshops will start in August 2010. IAP in partnership

with Emory University, USA has successfully completed

the KAP Surveys amongst providers of Immunization

services.

In addition to Neonatal Mortality the other major contributors

to Under-5 Mor tality are Pneumonia, Diarrhoea and

Malnutrition. IAP has already started RTI GEM program for


our own members. This year we have decided to take it

further to General Practitioners. UNICEF supported program

on Zinc and ORS in Diarrhoea is going on in full swing. We

are going to start another program on Comprehensive

Diarrhoea Management. This will include other aspects of

Diarrhoea management viz. Antibiotics and vaccines also.

IAP will conduct 50 such programs across the country.

IAP is very keen on joining hands with Government in

programs on Severe Acute Malnutrition management. IAP

is a part of the launch of this program recently in Madhya

Pradesh.

IAP has decided to take its activities beyond its

membership. This year we have started BLS program for

Paramedics and Lay Persons. IAP has decided to form

few disease registries. These registries will focus on

registration of patients with some of these chronic

diseases, collection and analysis of data, on line

information for patients on IAP Website and helping

providing medicines at lower cost.

The progress of work on 7 IAP proposed publications is

satisfactory. We target to release some of them during

Pedicon 2011. It gives me pleasure to announce here that

Executive Board in its just concluded meeting held at

Srinagar has decided to go ahead with a very prestigious

and ambitious project of IAP College of Pediatrics and Child

Health. The details will be discussed in next Executive Board

Meeting and then it will be taken to General Body for

approval. The College will have a role to play in UG and PG

Teaching, formulation of Protocols and Guidelines,

accreditation of nursing homes etc.

IAP is held in high esteem by Government of India, State

Governments, NGOs like UNICEF, WHO etc. and many

International Pediatric Societies. The first ever MRCPCH Part

I examination is successfully conducted in May 2010. We

are in the process of making a program to help our students

who aspire to appear for these examinations. IAP is

organizing APPA Vaccinology Update at Mumbai on

November 13th and 14th 2010. I invite all of you to this

International Update. Please register for the conference in a

big way. The success of this prestigious conference lies in

your active participation.

It is the IAP election time. The Election Commission is

working very hard to make the elections free and fair. I

request our members to exercise their franchise in large

numbers.

Let us all work with full dedication towards our Mission

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

of Glory.

Jai Hind! Jai IAP!

Yours in Academy Service

Deepak Ugra


Very warm greetings from Kottayam, the land of letters,

lakes and latex.

I have great pleasure and privilege to write this message

for the second issue of Academy Today, the mouthpiece of

Indian Academy of Pediatrics. Let me at the outset

congratulate our president, Dr. Deepak Ugra, our Secretary

Dr. Tanmay Amladi and treasurer Dr. Sailesh Gupta for their

wonderful activities and achievements during this IAP year.

IAP programmes like NSSK has been going on very well

even in private sector and also in almost all states.

Now one of the problems we are facing is low immunization

coverage for UIP vaccines. The average vaccine coverage

in India is below 50%, although it may be high in some of

the states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Now we must try for

100% immunization coverage in all states. The new teaching

faculties in number of new private medical colleges lacks

proper teacher’s training and I think we have to improve

From the Desk of Dr. T. U. Sukumaran,IAP President 2011

this. Also research is lacking in both medical colleges and

private sector. so I think we must concentrate on teacher’s

training and research methodology workshops. Our school

children are also facing lot of problems like physical

punishments at school, lack of toilet facilities, lack of

physical exercise and lack of transportation facilities. This

can be overcome by Child Friendly School Initiative and we

should insist certification of schools as child friendly.

Lastly, I will be taking over as the national president of the

IAP at the Pedicon 2011 at Jaipur. I have great pleasure to

invite you all to Jaipur and to make this Pedicon 2011 an

epoch making one. Dear friends ‘Working together works’.

Now let us put our hands together to improve the health of

Indian children.

Yours in Academy service,

T.U.SUKUMARAN

“Most of the important things in the world have been

accomplished by people who have kept on trying when

there seemed to be no hope at all.”..Dale Carnegie.

Dear Fellow Academicians,

It gives me a great pleasure writing for the Academy Today,

IAP’s mouth piece. When I got elected to the highest post

of the Academy, one of my major concerns was child

survival status in the country. Can we achieve Millennium

Development Goal-4? Expert opinion has been negative.

But at least IAP can make an attempt. My predecessors

started it, but the concern is whether we can give a big

push to it. Knowledge of the steps to be taken to improve

child survival was already available from the Lancet Child

Survival series. How to go about it? It became obvious that

reduction of neonatal mortality is the key area to work on

and every bir th attendant, need to be skilled in Basic

Newborn care and Resuscitation. AAP’s Newborn

Resuscitation Program (NRP) has been immensely

successful in bringing down infant mortality rate in many

countries. How to get this copyrighted AAP program for

India. It appeared there is no hope to get this program due

to complex logistics involved in it. However, IAP kept on

trying and Dr. Naveen Thacker’s enormous zeal and

networking capability finally bore the fruit. Ministry of Health

and IAP signed MOU for Navajaat Suraksha Karykram, which

can easily be termed as the biggest child survival program

taken anywhere in the world. M/s Johnson and Johnson

became IAP’s partner for private sector implementation of

the program named “First Golden Minute” with an

unprecedented educational grant. Already thousands of IAP

members have been trained in just one year. Other child

survival programs going on simultaneously complement

IAP’s effort in this direction.

Indian Pediatrics, IAP’s Official Journal, has been very

special to me. One of the finest periods in my career was

being Editor-in-Chief of Indian Pediatrics. The Journal got

indexed in the Science Citation Index during that period.

My successor Dr. Piyush Gupta has taken it forward to start

an International version with online submission and tracking;

the impact factor is only rising.

IAP Committee of Immunization has been another important

area of work. Dr. Vipin M. Vashishtha has created a beautiful

website www.iapcoi.com and I am sure members would

find the site very useful.

Dear Academicians, I have been in the helm of IAP office

for quite a long time and attended 32 Executive Board

meetings with a fitting finale at Srinagar. Being at Kashmir,

one thinks the famous lines of Persian poet Firdaus to be

justifiably right; “Agar Firdaus bar me Zaminast Haminasto

haminnasto haminasto.” (If there is heaven anywhere on

earth, it is here, it is here, it is here). I would like say the

same for our beloved country. I will continue with my

devotion for IAP and wish my successors the very best to

take the Academy to greater heights.

life- it goes on....” by Robert Frost

Dear Members,

IAP activities for the year are entering a critical phase when

we all have to work unitedly for the success of the year

ahead. In the past few months we have formulated elaborate

plans after intense debate and discussion. President’s Action

Plan is one of them. Similarly many state-level and district

level units too have come up with plans of their own. No

doubt a large nationwide professional body like IAP can

function effectively only if it enjoys the support of all the

members. Hence I look forward to the active involvement

of all the members and the office bearers, without whose

support it is not possible to materialize our plans and realize

our dreams.

I feel happy to inform that recently the IAP has conducted a

session in Srinagar, which proved to be an effective platform

From the Desk of Dr. Santosh T. Soans,IAP Vice President 2010

for exchange of views and ideas. We had fruitful discussions

and put forward our ideas regarding making IAP activities

more responsive and progressive in the future.

As you are aware the conference season has already

commenced with the invitations coming from different

quar ters requesting our par ticipation. The national

conference of IAP will be held at Jaipur, famed as the Pink

City of India. Conferences are an occasion to get to meet

and interact with colleagues from far and wide. I appeal to

all of you to enroll for the conference and make it a grand

success.

Yours in the service of IAP

With Regards,

Dr. Santhosh T. Soans

Vice President

Report of National Consultative meet on “Happy

Parenting” and Launch of the Parenting Module Bareilly

25.04.2010

It is with great pleasure we announce the First National

Consultative Meet on “Happy Parenting” and the launch of

the Parenting Module, under the IAP President’s Vision

2010, before a huge gathering of Principals, Teachers,

Doctors and Parents. The event was organized by IAP

Barielly Branch on the 25th April 2010, in the premises of

Invertis Institute of Management & Technology, Bareilly, and

UP. Bareilly.

Parenting a child may sound as a simple task and many

feel it is a duty that every parent has to fulfill. Years after

years, the Indian society has managed to preserve its

tradition of passing on the values of the family cultures to

its younger generations. But with the passing years and

with the modernization of our society, slowly the picture is

changing. The parents are striving to keep up the pace

between their careers, earning for the family, maintaining a

lifestyle and trying to bring up their children efficiently too.

At the same time the younger generation of our country is

facing immense pressure to maintain a balance between

keeping up with the huge expectations of the parents as

well of the peers. This pressure has also been ever increasing

due to the influence of external forces such as media.

The need of the hour today is that pediatricians, apart from

giving specialized medical treatment to the children and

adolescents also take up the responsibility of sensitizing

the parents to the right approach to developing good

parenting skills well equipped with “unconditional love” for

their children and seeing them grow as Happy Adolescents

and into Happy Adults.

Towards this goal, the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, under

the able guidance of the Hon’ble IAP President 2010, Dr

Deepak Ugra has taken a ground breaking, innovative conduit

to promote the practice of Good Parenting Skills amongst

the parents across the Indian subcontinent.

The inaugural ceremony marked the beginning of an era

which will transform the way pediatricians have been

practicing as well as the way the Indian parents have been

bringing up their children in the fast paced modern society.

Dr Atul Agarwal, past vice president IAP 2009, the organizing

secretary of the workshop welcomed the chief guest Father

Pious D’Souza, Education Director of Catholic Diocese and

the Guest of Honors, Mr. Umesh Gautam, President Clara

Swain Hospital and Chairman IIMT and Dr R.K Sharma,

Director GRM Group of schools, the leading chain of

secondary education schools.

The inaugural ceremony was chaired and addressed by the

Hon’ble CIAP President 2010, Dr Deepak Ugra who gave

an introduction to parenting which included why IAP felt the

need to include this as a National Movement. The

proceedings were conducted by Dr Tanmay Amladi,

Honorary CIAP Secretary 2010. who also promised to

support the program whole hear tedly. Dr Atul Agarwal

moderated the sessions.

Amongst other eminent members present who graced the

occasion were Past IAP President 2009, Dr Panna

Choudhary, Editor in Chief Prof. Piyush Gupta, Organizing

Secretary, Adolecon 2010, Dr Mahaveer Jain, Associate

Editor IP, Dr Dheeraj Shah, Executive member IP Dr Peeyush

Report on Happy Parenting Program – Launch


Jain, EB Member UP Dr Girish C. Agarwal and Dr Atul

Kanikar.

Other dignitaries present there were Fr. Julien Pinto,

Fr. Herman Minz, Fr Lawrence Pandey, Sr. Monica Mathews,

Fr. Harnold D’chuna and Principal of all the public and

convent schools o Bareilly.

The parenting module could see the light of the day, thanks

to the able leadership of Dr Deepak Ugra and the tireless

efforts of the members of the Core Committee of the

Parenting Program i.e. Dr Yamuna, Dr Preeti Galgali,

Dr Jeeson Uni, Dr Anand Shandilya, Dr Rajesh Chokani,

Dr Samir Dalwai, Dr CP Bansal, Dr Chhaya Prasad.

The program through the day witnessed many useful talks

on Parenting such as Communication by Dr Preeti,

Unconditional Love for children by Dr Tanmay Amladi,

Relationships by Dr Hima Bindu Singh, Effect of Type of

Family on children by Dr Atul Agarwal, Media Literacy by

Dr Chhaya Prasad, Substance Abuse in children and

adolescents by Dr Mahaveer Jain. Last but not the least;

Dr Yamuna gave a detailed talk on Sexuality in children and

adolescents, which was appreciated by one and all. At the

end of each topic, Dr Deepak was enlightening the audience

with his stimulating thoughts which kept the whole program

filled with enthusiasm. The National Co-ordinator for the

Happy Parenting Program, Dr Yamuna’s diligent efforts and

her unflinching devotion for the success of the program

was acknowledged and appreciated by all.

The sessions saw an attendance of approximately 1200

plus delegates out of which 800 were teachers of various

schools form Bareilly and adjoining districts and tehsils like

Badaun, Shajahanpur, Pilibhit, Punwaya, Tilhar, Fareedpur,

etc ; 200 doctors of Bareilly which included the faculty of 2

private medical colleges of Bareilly; and more than 200

parents representing the various service clubs. A total of 7

hrs session was conducted for them in almost a house full

Mega Auditorium of 1600 seats.

All sessions, the pre lunch as well as the post lunch sessions

were appreciated by the audience who witnessed a new

methodology in teaching practices, i.e. sessions based on

“Thought Stimulating Process” rather than a structured

lecture based session. All sessions were very informative

and interactive.

The stalwarts who strived hard to make the parenting

module a success but could not grace the occasion such

as Dr CP Bansal, Dr Samir Dalwai, Dr Anand Shandilya,

Dr Rajesh Chokani, and Dr Jeeson Unni were dearly missed

by all.

The program was concluded with a vote of thanks by

Dr Atul Agarwal.

The program was sponsored by Johnson & Johnson along

with all local logistic support of Mr. Umesh Gautam President

Clara Swain Mission Hospital and Mr. Guru Mehrotra of

Saraswati Sadan.

The effor t of President was lauded by one and all and

everybody wished the program a grand success.

Compiled by Dr Chhaya Prasad.

“The treasure of learning is imperishable. ”

- Swami Dayanand.

Dear Colleagues,

It gives us immense pleasure to invite you to the 48th Annual

National Conference of the Indian Academy Of Pediatrics at

our enchanting city Jaipur, the capital of the state of

Rajasthan. The conference and exhibition will be held from

21st to 23rd January 2011 preceded by CME & Workshops,

at the beautiful, awesome, tailor-made venue, the B. M.

Birla Science and Convention Centre, which is one of the

finest conference destinations in Asia.

Exuberating the essence of more than 250 years old

Rajasthani splendor and grandeur, Jaipur has a variety of

charms to cater to every one. Founded in 1727 A. D. by

Sawai Jaisingh II, Jaipur – the pink city, is one of the most

well-planned cities of the world. Here comes alive the

amalgam of the historical magnificent forts and palaces

with ultramodern malls, hotels, broad roads, spacious

gardens – an eye catching mixture of ethnic and modern

culture.

Jaipur, the heart of emerald in the world of gems, boasts of

excellent connectivity by rail, road and airline. The friendly

atmosphere and traditions makes it one of the safest and

comfortable cities in India to visit and explore.

The weather is very pleasant in the month of January, inviting

hordes of visitors to Jaipur – a most sought after tourist

destination in the world, named by many as ‘The Tuscany

Invitation for PEDICON 2011, Jaipur

of India’. The stupendous bazaars of Jaipur are a prefect

place to shop for gems, handicrafts, antiques, jewellery,

pottery, carpets, textiles, metalwork and leather ware.

Pedicon 2011 would be a desirous and rare opportunity to

interact with the best experts in the field of Pediatrics and

to benefit from their knowledge and experience. We request

Kerala High Court Directive toControl Noise Pollution

An impact of IMA Cochin’s crusade against - Deafening

Menace

Divisional Bench of the Kerala High Court directed the chief

secretary to take urgent steps to implement the section 3

of the Noise pollution (regulation and control) Rules and

section 359 of the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules to abate

noise pollution caused by motor vehicles on 21st Jan 2009.

WPC No. 32109/2008 (S).

The court also directed the chief secretary to provide Noise

level meters to all Commissioners/Superintends of Police,

Regional Transport Officers and all Environmental Engineers

of pollution Control Board, to enable them to measure out

the level of noise pollution and to book the offender. A Bench

comprising of Chief Justice J.B. Koshy and Justice V. Giri

issued the directive while disposing the writ petition filed

by IMA Cochin branch.

People exposed to noise level of 80 - 85 dB are at increased

risk of hearing loss. >90 dB long duration exposure can

cause gradual damage to the ear and > 100 dB regular

exposure can cause hearing loss. >110 dB regular exposure

will cause permanent hearing loss.

A study conducted by IMA Cochin as part of ‘Safe Sound

Safe Ear’ project reveled shocking results. Baseline noise

levels in silence zones was 75 – 80 dB (silence zones

include hospitals, educational institutions, courts, religious

places) where as the permissible is 50dB. If a bus horn

honks, it creates 92- 94 dB of sound, regular exposure of

which can cause permanent ear damage.

Traffic police, shop owners at junctions, bus drivers and

workers are at increased risk due to constant exposure to

high decibel noise. Patients in hospitals especially newborn

babies are another vulnerable group.

Message from the Organizing Team

Dear Delegate,

The Asia Pacific Pediatric Association has granted its

prestigious event, the Vaccinology Update 2010, to Indian

Academy of Pediatrics, and the Central IAP office has asked

IAP Mumbai and Navi Mumbai to host the event under IAP

Vision 2010. While all of us may profess to know nearly

everything there is to know about vaccines, thanks to the

various vaccine related CMEs and Symposia that are

frequently organized by IAP, and by vaccine producing

pharmaceuticals, there is always something that we still

need to learn, whether it is the basic immunology of a new

vaccine or the revised dosage schedule of an old vaccine.

Practicing pediatricians are forever looking for ‘updates’ to

their knowledge and this is exactly what the organizers of

APPA Vaccinology Update 2010 intend to do.

Through two complete days of vaccine science that will be

formatted interestingly into panel dialogues, key pad

sessions, ‘you ask, experts answer’ sessions, focused

lectures, and debates, delegates will be taken on a roller

coaster yet sedate ride through the entire field of

Vaccinology, from basics of immunology thru’ to the latest

vaccines on the anvil. In addition to renowned National

faculty, we will have several respected International faculty

who will share their knowledge with you. The concerns and

queries of delegate will be the uppermost in the conference

agenda and we assure you of a complete and satisfying

learning experience. We have chosen a comfortable venue

for the event that is also known for its delightful cuisine.

Amongst several academic events that you are deluged with

invitations to, we recommend that you register for APPA

Vaccinology Update, for all the right reasons mentioned

above. We look forward to welcome you to the international

event.

You may write to the organizing team with your queries, the

email id being [email protected]. You will find regular

updates about the event on the IAP website, the web address

being www.iapindia.org
