Reopen All Primary Schools

From the date of 23 October, Nagpur district is now hosting the conference of Pediatricians ‘Neocon-2021’. Which is the first major medical event in physical format since coronavirus.

Just to instil such confidence among all the people that the time has come to move towards normalcy.
Veteran Pediatrician named Dr. Satish Deopujari. Dr. DG Gan who delivered the lecture has stressed that there is no risk of any kind in sending all children to schools. Dr. Satish Deopujari has said that we have come in this epidemic of covid-19 in this way and now we understand covid-19 very well. Children are also mostly safe. Most of them have been infected long ago. And showing any kind of symptoms have also been cured. Now the parents of the children should also send their children to the schools without any hesitation.
Pediatricians are now most prominently discussing intensive care of the newborn in this conference. “Our aim is to reduce the neonatal mortality rate in India from 20 per 1,000 to less than 10 per 1,000 live births by 2030,” The patron of Nagpur AOP, whose name is Dr. Uday Bodhankar, said.
