Children and adults with PWS in India



Dr. Anjan Bhattacharya



I am a Developmental Paediatrician in India's first Child Development Centre at corporate healthcare set up in Apollo Group of Hospitals (49 Hospitals in 10 countries).  

I believe, we have the resources and quality expertise to help PWS children so much better than what is in store for them with current prevailing situation in India.  I have worked in the field of paediatrics, neonatology and developmental paediatrics in India and the UK for the last 20 years, with 12 of those years being in the UK.  It was there that I developed special interest in Developmental Paediatrics and have developed an interest in the specific diagnosis and management of children with complex disabilities, including PWS. 

Through the creation of The Child Development Centre of Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, we can offer a significant number of children with disabilities and difficulties a unique service development. 

Through my association with IPWSO I recently lectured at the PWS Society of India's Annual Meeting in Kolkata.  I believe that through a better understanding of the syndrome, and by cooperating with organisations such as IPWSO, and by using tools such as this blog, we can develop a much better understanding, cooperation, and management of PWS.
