Kanpur: A significant scientific symposium was recently organized by the Kanpur ISOPARB Society at the Hotel Royal Cliff. The symposium aimed to raise awareness about two crucial health topics where public knowledge is often lacking: the necessary tests for newborns and the vital role of Vitamin D in women's health.

The event featured detailed presentations by prominent city doctors. Senior pediatrician Dr. Pradeep Muttu provided crucial insights into newborn screening. He explained which tests are essential after birth, when and why they should be performed, and the importance of these screenings for a child's long-term health. His presentation was highly informative for parents, helping them make informed decisions regarding their infant's well-being.

Her session aimed to dispel common myths and provide accurate information, which is critical for maintaining women’s overall health.

The symposium was well-attended by many senior female doctors from Kanpur, including Dr. Meera Agnihotri, Dr. Neelam Mishra (President), Dr. Kiran Sinha (Secretary), Dr. Vinita Awasthi (Treasurer), Dr. Kalpana Dixit (President KOGS), and other distinguished professionals.
