The website offers useful clinical materials in paediatrics for paediatricians, under graduate, post graduate and parents. It will be a useful site for undergraduate and post graduates who are negotiating the learning curve of paediatrics. This site offer patient education material in vernacular.

Medical graduates should be updated about current protocols and recent advances, in addition to fundamental principles of paediatrics. Minicex, dops, osce and clinical discussions form the core exercise during training.
