Ranchi: The 24th Jharkhand Pedicon Conference, organized by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), Ranchi branch, entered its second day on Saturday at Vinayak Eco Resort, Ormanjhi. The event witnessed participation from eminent pediatricians and medical experts from across the country, including Jaipur, AIIMS New Delhi, Jammu, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, and Nagpur.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Rajesh Kumar (Balpan) said that reducing the neonatal mortality rate remains one of the greatest challenges of modern healthcare. He informed that approximately 14 out of every 1,000 newborns die shortly after birth — a matter of serious concern. He emphasized the importance of keeping the newborn warm immediately after birth, maintaining proper umbilical hygiene, ensuring safe cord cutting, and providing the baby with the mother’s first milk.
Dr. Krishna Kumar highlighted that neonatal treatment methods have undergone revolutionary changes over time. “Earlier, medicines were administered in powdered form, but now advanced techniques such as ventilation support have transformed neonatal care,” he noted.
Dr. Shyam Sundar Sidana stated that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is bringing a revolution in the field of medicine. However, he cautioned that constant medical supervision and accurate guidance are essential, as misuse or misinterpretation of AI-generated data could lead to incorrect outcomes.
Dr. Aparna from Hyderabad discussed in detail the symptoms of infection and sepsis in newborns, advising doctors to avoid the unnecessary use of antibiotics.
In addition, Dr. Abhishek Ranjan spoke on thalassemia, Dr. K.S. Das addressed infection management, and Dr. Abhishek Jha shared insights on emergency care for neonatal cancers.
The event was also graced by IAP President Dr. P.K. Gupta, Dr. Rajeev Mishra, Secretary Dr. Rajesh Kumar (Balpan), Joint Secretary Dr. Shailesh Chandra, Dr. Shyam Sidana, Dr. Anitabh Kumar, Dr. Parmanand Kashi, Dr. Kiran Shankar Das, Dr. Ratan Kumar, Dr. Nishant Pathak, Dr. Hemant, Dr. Ajit Sahay, and several other prominent doctors from across the country, along with Cachet Pharma representative Neeraj Kumar.
