Over 125 delegates attended the paediatric gastroenterology and hepatology CME, and the second Prof Saroj Mehta Memorial Oration organised by PGIMER on Saturday.
Dr Saroj Mehta, the doyenne of paediatric gastroenterology and hepatology in India, is credited with setting up of the first such dedicated department in the country at PGIMER in 1984.
The CME included talks on celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, endoscopic ultrasound for paediatric pancreatic diseases and newer advances in paediatric cholestasis, delivered by eminent speakers from India and abroad. The event was an academic feast with active deliberations between faculty and students.
Dr Sadhna Lal was the organising chairperson and Dr Surinder Rana was the organising secretary.
