Nurturing Young Lives Through Digestive Health Excellence
The Indian Society of Pediatrics Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ISPGHAN) is a premier organization dedicated to advancing the fields of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition in India.
Since its inception in 2013, ISPGHAN has played a pivotal role in fostering collaboration among healthcare professionals, promoting research, and enhancing the standard of care for children with gastrointestinal, liver, and nutritional disorders.

Its membership base spans across the country, reflecting the increasing interest and need for expertise in pediatric gastroenterology and related fields. The society serves as a platform for knowledge sharing, professional development, and advocacy for child health.
ISPGHAN’s contributions to the medical community are manifold. The society organizes annual conferences, workshops, and training programs that bring together national and international experts to discuss the latest advancements and best practices. These events provide an unique opportunity for healthcare providers to stay updated on emerging trends and enhance their clinical skills. ISPGHAN also collaborates with global organizations to ensure that Indian practitioners have access to cutting-edge research and innovations.
India’s diverse population and high burden of pediatric gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders underscore the importance of ISPGHAN’s mission. Conditions such as acute and chronic liver diseases, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and malnutrition continue to pose significant challenges. ISPGHAN’s initiatives aim to address these challenges through education, advocacy, and the promotion of evidence-based practices.
In addition to its academic contributions, ISPGHAN is deeply committed to public health. The society has launched awareness campaigns to educate parents, caregivers, and the general public about the prevention and management of common pediatric gastrointestinal and nutritional issues. By bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and practical application, ISPGHAN is making a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of children across India.
