The Indian Academy of Pediatrics has taken up the initiative to support the Centre's anaemia elimination mission. Around 700 paediatricians from Pune are registered with the IAP.
As part of the 'IAP Ki Baat, community ke saath' campaign, doctors will interact with communities and share vital information about child health. Massive screening drives will be held as anaemia poses a major public health issue, IAP officials told The Indian Express.
