About IAP Delhi

The Indian Academy of Pediatrics has closely linked with the development of the Pediatric Specialty in Delhi In the 40’s Delhi has 2 Pediatricians. During 1949, the leading pediatricians of Delhi met at the office of Dr K L Jain on Thursday afternoon. These pediatricians mostly were Members of the Association of Physicians of India. In that first meeting of pediatrician, the idea of forming an Association of pediatricians of India was mooted. It is interesting to observe that the present practice of our Thursday Meetings seems to have its roots in that first meeting held on a Thursday.

In 1954, the Association of pediatricians of India was christened and it established its Central office at Bombay. The Delhi State Branch came into being in 1964.

The first Department of Pediatrics was created at the Irwin (Now LNJP Hospital) Hospital and Dr P N Taneja joined as Head of Department in 1952. The Kalawati Saran Children?s Hospital came up in 1956 and Dr Sheila Singh Paul was its Head of The department. The next pediatric Department was established at the Safdarjung Hospital in 1957-59 with Dr A K Basu as its Head. The pediatrics Department in AIIMS was started in 1958. Meetings in late fifties were mostly held in these hospitals.

In 1996, IAP Delhi registered under Societies Act of 1986 and purchased its office premises at Ansari Road Dariyaganj, New Delhi. Currently the new office is at Flat # 113-114 First Floor, Bank House, Punjab & Sind Bank Bldg. 21 Rajendra Place, New Delhi 110 060
