Another tiny little human makes it home - born 3 months ahead of time with grossly under developed lungs, a slightly longer stay on the ventilator (compared to our unit data), eventually makes it home. These little ones are resilient and do remarkably well with the right care and meticulous nursing monitoring and medical support. We are blessed to have a good team with us at NICU, Healthworld hospitals, Asansol.

Advisory for the FLU season.

Babies are small with a developing immune system. Please be mindful and avoid certain actions to keep them healthy. Distancing if unwell, wearing a mask and avoiding unnecessary kisses can make a huge difference to their well being.

Teach, train, develop and grow.
Nursing training is an ongoing process. Good neonatal care is a lot about nursing empowerment and decisive actions at an appropriate time.

Many energy drinks were being mislabelled as ORS for a while now. Parents were getting confused. Some were being used for diarrhea by parents who were unaware that these were actually not the" WHO prescribed ORS".

Hope this landmark judgement will erase the confusion and keep patients and kids safe.

Hyderabad paediatrician's fight against misleading ORS marketing leads to FSSAI order banning usage of ‘Oral Rehydration Salts’ or ‘ORS’ on products unless the formulation adheres WHO reccommendations

Simulus 10, at Himalayan institute of Medical sciences, Dehradun.

A conference I look forward to every year, to be a part of the Pedistars family. Glad to be a part of the NeoSim (neonatal simulation) team this year as well.

Excellent scientific content and fantastic hospitality in the foothills of Himalayas. A weekend well spent learning from mentors and seniors and sharing knowledge with friends and sim enthusiasts.

Thank you to the organising team and Team Pedistars.

I keep on advising the same. Sometimes its difficult when parents are inisistent on a syrup which will stop the cough.

Many years back, when I started work, it took me some time to make parents understand, to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. Some have understood. Others are in the process. The rest hopefully will avoid antibiotics advised by the street corner medicine shop wala soon.

Hopefully the frequent use/abuse of these cough syrups will also reduce with time.

We as doctors understand that cough is distressing. However it takes time to subside.
