Chandigarh, July 21, 2025:
Over 100 leading pediatricians and child health specialists from across India came together today at JW Marriott, Chandigarh for the Tricity Paediatric Super Specialty Meet 2025, held in collaboration with the Punjab Medical Council.
This year’s theme—“Protecting Our Little Ones: Exploring the Latest Advancements in Child Health”—set the tone for an intensive exchange of knowledge, innovation, and collaborative discussion on critical child health issues.
The day-long meet featured impactful sessions on Kawasaki Disease, Pediatric Neurology, complex PICU cases, infectious markers through dermatological symptoms, and cutting-edge vaccination strategies.
One of the key highlights was the “Vaccination Dialogue” session, which focused on Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)—a common cause of persistent cough, wheezing, and pneumonia in infants. Experts discussed in detail the newly available single-dose preventive vaccine, Beyfortus (Nirsevimab), and its significance in protecting neonates from RSV-related complications.
Dr. Neeraj Kumar, former President of IMA Chandigarh and lead Motherhood organizer, stated:
“This meet is not just about knowledge sharing—it’s a collective commitment to staying at the forefront of pediatric healthcare. We must empower our medical community with updated insights, tools, and awareness to safeguard our most delicate population—our children.”
Dr. Sunny Narula, Senior Consultant Pediatrician and an influential voice in pediatric advocacy, emphasized:
“In a post-pandemic world, pediatric care must evolve swiftly. This platform enables clinicians to engage directly with the latest research, therapies, and real-world experiences that can significantly impact outcomes in OPDs and ICUs alike.”
Dr. Abhay Shah, former Chairperson of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics and practicing pediatrician from Ahmedabad, shared:
“Child health lies at the intersection of science and society. While we address diseases like RSV, we must also consider the nutritional and environmental conditions shaping modern childhood. Prevention, early intervention, and health equity must be our top priorities.”
Prof. Archana Chakraborty, pediatrician and academician from Faridabad, added:
“What excites me most about this meet is the interdisciplinary richness—from neurodevelopmental assessments to dermatological diagnostics. These diverse conversations push us to think beyond the textbook and apply integrated care models in our practice.”
