COVID-19 has highlighted the urgent need for healthcare workers from every region of the world to be ready to respond to the growing health challenges faced by communities. Building from the momentum of our previous conferences in Bangladesh, Philippines, and Zimbabwe since 2012, PEDSI will host a three-day webinar conference to physicians in Bangladesh and India to present cases and lessons learned.  

We have partnered with Bangladesh Pediatric Association (BPA) with a membership of 1500 pediatricians to offer the Webinar conference covering wide variety of topics free of charge to its members. We have lined up an impressive list of speakers from different institutions in USA and Bangladesh, and our schedule is full of engaging events.

Don’t miss out! Only registered participants will be able to participate and receive certificate of attendance.
