PGIMER Highlights Rising Paediatric IBD Cases and Need for Specialized Child Care

On World Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Day, PGIMER's Division of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology highlighted the rising prevalence of paediatric IBD in India. Professor Sadhna Lal emphasized that childhood IBD differs from adult cases, affecting growth, nutrition, and development, and requires specialised care by paediatric gastroenterologists. Factors such as dietary changes, urban lifestyles, and antibiotic use contribute to this increase. The session stressed the need for early diagnosis and child-centric management to address this growing health concern.
