Dear colleagues, ,
I am extremely happy that the proposed web update to the IAP Drug Formulary is being launched this year. This pediatric drug formulary has become an important accessory for every IAP member and practicing pediatrician who has had the good fortune of owning one. This would be its first update and all the users, I'm sure, are looking forward to using this new technology of downloading updates on to ones hard disc.
A unique feature of this year's edition is our association with the National Neonatology Forum. The Neonatology Sub Chapter of the IAP has teamed up with office bearers of the NNF in formulating the IAP recommendations for Drug Therapy in the Neonatology. This update will also include 2 new chapters - Dermatology and Intensive Care - wherein IAP recommendations in these two specialties will be detailed for the first time. Updates on a few other IAP recommendations and information on the latest and those not included in the first edition will also be made available.
I congratulate Dr Jeeson and his team for this excellent work. Any ongoing project requires continuous professional inputs. I am very happy and would like to compliment office bearers of all the sub-specialty chapters of IAP for their help.
I wish this official publication of the IAP all the very best.
Yours in academy,
Dr Raju Shah,
President, IAP 2005.
