The Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) has launched ACE 10/10, a healthcare initiative aimed at adolescents. The initiative will focus on driving awareness around three key pillars of health, nutrition and vaccination as essential to comprehensive adolescent care.

The ACE 10/10 initiative was jointly unveiled by Dr Pramod Jog (IAP President 2016), Dr Anupam Sachdeva (IAP President Elect 2016) and Dr Bakul Parekh (IAP Secretary 2016).

Under the programme, paediatricians will be trained on providing standard care for adolescents across three pillars. The programme will focus on encouraging paediatricians to educate parents on the importance of comprehensive adolescent care, including ensuring the completion of vaccination as a means to protect them from some critical diseases.

The ACE 10/10 programme will be rolled out starting March by the Indian Academy of Paediatrics.
