Welcome to IAPS !
We, the Pediatric Surgeons of India, do hereby unite to form an association titled ‘Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons’ with a view to propound, to practice, to promote, to project, and to propogate the speciality of Pediatric Surgery. We aim to render a high quality of surgical care, to foster fraternity and familial feelings amongst the members, to pursue professional practice with ethics and empathy, and to stay away from a milieu muddled with mudane materialism.

President's message
Dear Peers of IAPS,
Warm regards to you all. I wish you good health and success. Recently, I assumed the mantle of IAPS from the illustrious Prof. Ramesh Babu, a responsibility I take with utmost diligence. With your best wishes and the guidance of the EC and our dynamic Secretary General, Prof. Vikesh Agrawal, I hope to fulfill your expectations.
Last year, as President-Elect, I led the “One IAPS-One Election” initiative, overcoming challenges with robust EC and Election Committee support. Key constitutional amendments proposed at the GBM in Rishikesh will ensure smoother future operations, and I urge all sections to adhere to them.
This year’s slogan is “India Needs Pediatric Surgeons for Surgery of Children.” To achieve this, we must strengthen ties with pediatric physicians, as initiated by Prof. Ramesh Babu. I encourage you to engage with local and national bodies and participate in clinical activities, showcasing our specialty’s impact.
We must also focus on rural outreach during Pediatric Surgery Day and Week, involving patients and referring physicians to raise awareness. Sharing educational content through media is encouraged to highlight our work.
With your blessings, we aim for meaningful contributions to IAPS’s growth.
Long Live IAPS,
Sumitra Kumar Biswas, Kolkata

Secretary's Message
Our focus remains steadfast: fostering a bridge between the macro-level challenges in pediatric surgical healthcare worldwide while empowering local communities with specialized care at the district level.
One of our key missions is to ignite the spirit of involvement among young minds- The Yuva Pediatric Surgeons. We firmly believe in the power of the youth in shaping the future of Pediatric Surgery and Pediatric Urology. Their enthusiasm, fresh perspectives, and innovative ideas are the catalysts for progress, driving us to find tailored solutions that cater to the unique needs of each community. I strongly believe that “The ‘Surgical youthquake’ is the way forward for a positive transformation”.
Moreover, we’re dedicated to training and fostering expertise in subspecialties of pediatric surgery like Pediatric Urology, Pediatric Minimal Access Surgery, Fetal Medicine and other left out specialities like Pediatric Neurosurgery and Pediatric Plastic Surgery. We aim to create dynamic and engaging educational programs, as We plan to propagate it in the magnetic language of the NextGen.
Further, it’s becoming very imperative to enhance our country’s presence and prowess in the Global academicia. Our strength is the volume of work we have, highly intellectual minds and amazingly skillfull Pediatric Surgeons. If our strength is used appropriately to overcome our peculiar challenges, We can become the strongest voice of Global South in Pediatric Surgery.
