AIIMS Delhi College of Nursing is coordinating the programme.

The intensive care chapter of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics is also working on training 6,000 pediatricians to tackle adults also for the last six months. Along with this, pediatricians hailing from B-grade towns, C-grade towns and small villages, are also being trained. The rotational training programme began on July 12 and was done in three batches over three days, as per reports. During the devastating second COVID-19 wave earlier this year, the country saw children getting affected, of which a few were severely affected.

Pediatric departments of hospitals also reported post-COVID symptoms in children, especially MISC (Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children), for which hospitals had to pay special attention. A few weeks ago, a joint survey by the WHO and AIIMS found that sero-prevalence was 55.7 percent in the below 18 years of age group and 63.5 percent in the 18+ age group.
