It is to be held at Lulu Bolgatty International Convention Center, Kochi, Kerala, from 24th to 28th January 2024. At PEDICON-2024, we have strategized an academic feast with high quality workshops, lectures by eminent national and international speakers , stimulating debates, thought provoking symposia and oral presentations to expand our knowledge horizons in child healthcare.

This year's highlight is the theme 'Global warming and Child Health', emphasizing the detrimental effects of global environmental changes on the Pediatric population. The venue being an urban waterfront resort perched on the serene Bolgatty island of Kochi, PEDICON -2024 is also going to be an excellent opportunity to explore the picturesque landscape, indulge in the legendary cuisines of the region and experience the rich culture and heritage of Kerala, God's own country.
