Tackling inequities in child survival in India: Let’s meet at the horizon of pediatrics and public health

I write this president’s page with great pride, honour and humility towards all fellow IAPians for giving me opportunity to serve this prestigious association in the golden jubilee year of Indian Academy of Pediatrics. It has been a great honour and privilege indeed and I profusely thank each and every one of you, not only for electing me president of IAP but supporting the efforts, which I initiated during my tenure, i.e. Mission Uday and Mission Kishore Uday, IAP TOUCH, BLS Awareness Program, Child India (our new e-bulletin), Advisory Committee on Vaccination and Immunization Practices (ACVIP), and Indian College of Pediatrics.
