Dear All,
On behalf of the organizing committee, I cordially welcome you all to the
1
st
National Conference of the Indian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology,
Hepatology and Nutrition (ISPGHAN) at Cochin.
Pediatric Gastroenterology in India has been growing steadily and has
now acquired an identity of its own as a separate society - ISPGHAN and
this will be its inaugural meet.
We, at Cochin, feel honored and privileged to be hosting this prestigious
meet. The organizing committee has planned a sumptuous feast both
academic and gastronomical to enthrall you all for 3 days. The scientific
program includes lectures, case scenarios and panel discussions which
will cover almost all topics of pediatric gastroenterology. We have specially
chosen topics that deal with everyday conditions with ample time for
discussion and I am sure we will all have interesting and useful interactions.
For the post graduates and pediatricians interested in gastroenterology, the
preconference endoscopy work shop the first of its kind in South India -
will be peek into the world of interventional endoscopy. We hope that this
will stimulate an interest to specialize in pediatric gastroenterology.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
