The Tenth Anniversary of the department of Developmental Paediatrics, MOSC Medical College, falls on 13th September, 2022.
We remember the occasion on 8th August , 2022 at a function in the department with the exhibition of different articles made in the department.
Its is a special time to remember all families and children who came to visit us; all professionals past and present who welcomed them; and the administrative and support team of the institution who made this faculty what it is today.
Every person in the department is involved in something or other now, apart from the regular involvement with children, towards making this get together a grateful occasion!
A family who came to visit us yesterday gave me a sense of how some, families feel about us. This family who lives overseas brought their daughter to us five years ago with a rare disease, which we tried to identify, since then have kept in touch with us. Now their daughter has made progress and is at school with interest in reading, music, singing, dancing, although has limitations inc oping with the academic demands of her grade at school. Her medical challenges are not over!
How this family described us was: 'You became our companions in a difficult journey'!
The little we could offer to families like this seemed to have helped them to be pathfinders for their children.
Ten years behind us!
I am surprised that I am still working at seventy five!
Each day when I go to work and return, I have a song of gratitude within me for this environment that was given to be involved in-pleasant colleagues, cheerful ambience, grateful families, and defining new frontiers in Developmental Paediatrics!
The joy of having been given and guided through the last ten years, is what is abundant within me!
