I am fortunate to know Dr Dhananjay Shah as a senior colleague and a close friend. He is an erudite academician who is well respected across India for his knowledge of pediatrics. His contribution to the city of Rajkot where he has taken care of two generations of children now is well known. His contribution to the Indian Academy of Pediatrics in finance matters has been immense across the decades. I am aware that pediatricians across India keenly await his extensively researched, well articulated and precisely summarized blogs on a range of academic and non-academic issues. I wish him all the best and good health and may he continue to selflessly serve the community.

Dr. Dhananjay Shah has an indomitable spirit and a highly imaginative brain. I know him well since 1995. * He invited me to the Gujarat State Conference of December 1995, as a Speaker, and I was highly impressed by his Organisational skills and the way he justified the theme of the Conference. He had named it as THE CHRISTMAS CONFERENCE and fully justified it with all the fanfare. * Besides his penchant for Conference organisation, he is committed to academics and pens down plenty of articles and Blogs on varied subjects, which are of immense value to grass-root Pediatricians. His write ups are full of finesse and are perfect in the layout of information. * My best wishes for his future path of activities in IAP and hope he shall always be the winner.
