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.
Qualified and trainee Pediatric Surgeons are invited to become members of the IAPS. Please use the link below for details and application
If you have completed your MCh or DNB Pediatric Surgery, you can convert your Associate Membership to a full Life Membership Status.
The history of pediatric surgery, while short in duration compared to its older sibling specialities, is still an exciting story. It has grown from a sedate start in the mid-twentieth century to rapid growth in the current millennium. The period can be divided broadly into three phases. The first phase, spanned from 1940 to 1960, followed by a consolidation in the second phase from 1960 to 1990, and then the third phase after 1990 of rapid growth and innovation.
Indian Association of Paediatric Surgeons has grown over the years into a vibrant group with many youngsters actively participating now.
We have several tasks ahead. We need to create promote among public that the skillful hands or a paediatric surgeon are indeed essential when a child gets a surgical problem. Children are not miniature adults and their surgical problems like pyloric stenosis, intussusception, malrotation, hypospadias, cloaca etc are unique. We should emphasis this at school camps, news media briefings, social media handles and when giving lectures in IMA/IAP/OG meetings.
Every district hospital needs a paediatric surgery unit and we need to keep promoting with a hashtag #IndiaNeedsPaediatricSurgeons in all social media posts. Many new innovative ideas have been introduced in IAPS and we would soon release them. Meanwhile keep helping children with all paediatric surgical problems and as much as possible while taking help from senior pediatric surgeons rather than other speciality surgeons when dealing with urological or robotic cases. Stay vigilant and don’t lose ground.

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.
