Dear Colleagues,

Greetings from the International Pediatric Association and Indian Academy of Pediatrics!!!

The organizing committee takes immense pleasure in announcing the 30th International Pediatric Association Congress 2023 & 60th Annual Conference of The Indian Academy of Pediatrics to be held in Gujarat, India. Keeping in line with the current and developing pandemic situation and government guidelines, we have scheduled the Congress from 19th February – 23rd February 2023 as a ‘hybrid event’ - the long-awaited physical conference experience coupled with an unparalleled round the clock online learning and interaction.

The theme for the 2023 Congress is “Quality Care for Every Child Everywhere”. With this in mind, we have planned an academic bonanza with hi- quality workshops and guest lectures on challenging issues pertaining to pediatric and neonatal health. We expect over 25,000 - 50,000 delegates from across the world.

Our fraternity's dedication and commitment towards academic excellence and collective social causes has been pivotal in keeping us together despite the wide geographical distribution and diversities. Whether you attend in-person or online, the 30th IPA Congress & 60th PEDICON 2023 will be highly informative and enriching with an opportunity to interact with more than 600 international and national faculty and leading experts. Our unique hybrid platform will allow our colleagues to expand their knowledge, discuss critical issues and problems faced by them in their day-to-day practice.

The venue for the in-person Congress is the iconic Mahatma Mandir Convention & Exhibition Centre, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. A state-of-art centre spread over 34 acres with a capacity of over 15,000 participants. All this, topped with exceptional hospitality from my organising team and Indian Academy of Pediatrics.

The organizing committee wishes and invites you to be a part of this Congress and look forward to your positive participation.

With Warm Regards,

Dr. Bakul Jayant Parekh,
IPA Congress President 2023
