Pediatrics as a specialty of medicine has come a long way indeed, from the time when children were treated by adult physicians, to the current times when super specialties exist within the field of pediatrics. Indian Academy of Pediatrics, the singular body connecting pediatricians from all parts of the country in a common ideological thread, has also grown in size and stature, from the time when it was launched by 159 pediatricians, to the present time when it boasts of membership strength of 20,300.
