PEDICON 2019 Report

The Mumbai Branch of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics hosted the 56th Annual National Conference of the Academy – PEDICON 2019 - at the sprawling MMRDA Grounds, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai from 6th – 10th February 2019.

The conference was expected to be as the biggest PEDICON right from the time Mumbai won the bid. Needless to say only MMRDA grounds could accommodate such a large gathering. After having made the initial booking of the grounds, we received a major setback as the grounds allotted were taken away for the Mumbai Metro and Bullet Train work. Timely intervention by Dr Samir Dalwai through sources saved the day and we managed to get alternative grounds; though disjointed, along with Jio garden. The team lead ably by Chief Organising Chairperson Dr Bakul Parekh Chief organising Secretary Dr Bipin Shah and MBIAP President Dr Bela Verma geared up for the gruelling preparations. Medivison team of Mr Sohil Kanakia was the PCO which helped the team tremendously.

Meticulous planning went on over the entire year. Finally the D-Day arrived.

Dr Digant Shastri did the Bhoomi poojan and the team took the blessings of the Divine before taking up the garangutan task of constructing over 2 lakh square feet in under 10 days. The workers were distributed shawls as a sign of goodwill.

The hiccups continued. The grounds were handed over 3 days late putting the entire conference preparations at risk. Deepali Creations and GECI took up the challenge and worked 24x7 to set up the grand venue in record time under the hawk like supervision of Dr Bharat Parekh.

The scientific feast prepared by the Scientific committee, led by master academician Dr Nitin Shah was a delight. Over 700 faculty from all over the country and abroad went about delivering their knowledge over the 4 days in 9 different halls simultaneously. The scientific feast had

STEERPEDICON 2019 Report

Over 11000 people (including delegates, accompanying family, pharmaceutical industry persons and organising team)were accommodated in the venue. The exhibition area and the halls were unique as they were all German hangars which were erected without any central pillars. The entire scientific halls were soundproofed and air conditioned for the perfect experience of the delegates. Another first was that the committee went at great lengths to make it a completely eco friendly and paperless conference.

The delegates had more reason to celebrate as the lip smacking food served by Mini Punjab was the best ever for a conference of this magnitude. Over 4 days the menu was different for each meal and catered to all the tastes from North to South and East to West. The menu had been painstakingly curated by the Catering committee led by Dr Bipin Shah who was also the Chief Organising Secretary. In a first, breakfast was also served to all the delegates on all 4 days. The evenings were no less. The Presidential Dinner had a gala music night by ace musician Mr Ajay Madan and troupe. This was followed by another first-time PEDITALENT finals where the best of the talented pediatricians flaunted their vocals. Banquet nights took it a notch higher. Shankar Mahadevan left the crowd in a trance and asking for more. We rounded up with a foot stomping performance by Benny Dayal.

The PEDIFEST area drew large crowds. The attendees were treated to Master class by Master Chef Shazia Khan, Salsa classes and various entertainment programmes which were enjoyed by everyone along with a wonderful shopping experience. Dr Samir Dalwai and team laid the groundwork for this splendid entertainment.

What marked PEDICON 2019 as a path breaking medical conference was the simple fact that every lunch that was served to the doctor delegates was accompanied by sharing lunch with hundreds of street children and children in shelters across Mumbai.

We coordinated with Hamara Foundation, a renowned NGO working with disadvantaged children in Mumbai- this was facilitated by our senior national past president Dr Ramesh Potdar. The same kitchen of Mini Punjab that served food to the doctors cooked up a tasty and nutritious meal selected by our TEAM PEDICON 2019 for more than five hundred children every day and was accompanied by a pediatrician – a volunteer from our Organising Committee who oversaw the transport of the food and the actual implementation. Photographs were taken to ensure complete transparency.

Similarly, there was no undue wastage of food, as food not utilized in the Dining Halls was handed over to Mumbai ROTI Foundation (an eminent NGO helmed by ex- Police Commissioner, Shri D Sivanand). This foundation collects the food and redistributes it to the needy and hungry in an attempt to curb malnutrition and hunger as well as not allow the wastage of good food.

Five stalls with infrastructure were provided without any cost to NGO Yashaswini Abhiyaan's Mahila Bacaht gat (Women's Savings Group) to display and sell homemade eatables and other consumables as well as traditional produce.

More stalls were provided to V D Rehabilitation Foundation that works with children with Intellectual Disability, the Fragile X Society of India as well as the Rett Syndrome Society at zero cost so that

awareness for children with special needs is carried to all paediatricians of India.

PEDICON 2019 takes solace in the humble fact that we could look beyond the science and the accompanying peripherals that go along with a conference and try to achieve a greater moral, ethical and social responsibility.

We humbly thank the President, the Immediate Past President, the President Elect, Honorary Secretary General, the EB, CIAP Office, the Delegates, the industry and each member of IAP for letting us have this honour. Last but not the least, we need to thank the entire organising committee which worked relentlessly through the year, meeting every week sacrificing their time and energy to make PEDICON 2019 a phenomenal success.
