International Workshop on

Micronutrients and Child Health

20th - 23rd October, 2009

Dear Colleague

The four micronutrients (MNs) which are presently of great pubic health

significance are Iron, Iodine, Vitamin A and Zinc. The deficiencies of these MNs

are severe and widespread in developing countries including India. Iron

deficiency in the age group of 6-24 months, is impairing the mental development

of approximately 40% to 60% of the children. Iodine deficiency is estimated to

have lowered the intellectual capacity of children in developing nations by as

much as 10 to 15 percentage points. Vitamin A deficiency is compromising the

immune systems of approximately 40% of the under five children in developing

countries. The zinc deficiency is causing growth retardation, abnormal immune

functions, impaired cognitive functions, increased maternal morbidity &

mortality and prolonged gestation.

A large pool of scientific evidence is being generated globally on issues

related to Role of Micronutrients in reduction of morbidity and mortality and

Promoting Child Health. There are many important issues like Interaction Between

Micronutrients Supplementations when given simultaneously; Prevention of IDD

amongst Pregnant Mothers; Iron Supplementation in Malaria Endemic Area;

Micronutrient Supplementation for Prevention of Diarrhoea and Respiratory

Infections; Micronutrient Fortification of Foods-Rationale, Application and

Impact; Micronutrient Fortification of Complementary Foods; Iron Supplementation

in Early Childhood: Health Benefits and Risks; Effect of Iron Supplementation on

Mental and Motor Development in Children; Neonatal Vitamin A Supplementation and

Infant Survival in Asia; and Vitamin A Supplementation of Women Postpartum etc.

An International Workshop is being organized to update the participants about

the recent advancesin the field of Micronutrients and Child Health.

We will have detailed presentations and discussions on Magnitude of the Iron,

Iodine, Vitamin A and Zinc deficiencies; their Health Consequences, Methodology

of Assessments, Strategies for Prevention & Control; Micronutrients

Supplementation to improve child morbidity & mortality and related issues.

The workshop will be held for four days. One day will be dedicated to each of

the four micronutrients i.e. i) Iron, ii) Iodine, iii) Vitamin A and iv) Zinc.

The International Workshop will be held as per the following schedule:

Date : 20th to 23rd October 2009

Time : 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Venue : Jawaharlal Nehru Auditorium, AIIMS, New Delhi

The eminent National and International scientists who are working in the field

of Micronutrients and Child Health will be delivering State of Art

presentations. After each presentation, in-depth deliberations will be held, to

discuss the issues raised by the eminent scientists and participants.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I invite you to participate in the

International Workshop on Micronutrients and Child Health.

Looking forward to meeting you,

With personal regards,

Yours sincerely,

(Dr. Umesh Kapil)
