About GPICC
Empowering sick kids care, Everywhere!
The Gujarat Pediatric Intensive Care Chapter was established in 2018 at Karamsad, rooted in a deep commitment to advancing pediatric intensive care across Gujarat — especially in underserved and resource‑limited rural areas. Our chapter was born out of a pressing need to bridge the gaps in healthcare access, build local capacity, and empower medical professionals serving critically ill children, regardless of where they practice.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to providing continuous education and hands‑on training to pediatricians, general practitioners, nurses, and other healthcare workers working in resource‑constrained settings. We firmly believe that with the right training, protocols, and support, even basic setups can deliver high‑quality intensive care for critically ill children.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every child in Gujarat — regardless of geography — has access to safe, evidence‑based, and compassionate intensive care. Through every workshop we host, every webinar we conduct, every protocol we create, and every partnership we build, we stay true to our core belief:
Every child in Gujarat deserves the best chance at life — no matter where they are born.
Our Focus
- Practical Training: Simulation‑based learning, hands‑on workshops, and case discussions tailored to rural realities.
- Evidence‑Based Practice: Developing protocol‑based management strategies for resource optimization.
- Research and Education: Fostering collaborations and advancing the science of pediatric intensive care.
- Ongoing Education: Regular monthly webinars that connect medical and nursing staff across Gujarat, sharing knowledge and best practices.
- Nursing Education: Specialized training and upskilling for nursing staff, reinforcing their vital role in intensive care and making quality care a reality even in resource‑limited settings.
Our Reach and Impact
Since 2018, GJPIC has evolved into a respected platform that bridges the gap between tertiary care centers and peripheral setups across the state. We collaborate with national pediatric forums and critical care networks, bringing the latest advances and global best practices to Gujarat while addressing its unique local challenges.
