The winners are Dr Atul Patil and Dr Amit Ravi Mandar from Seth G.S. Medical College & KEM Hospital, Mumbai (West Zone). The runners up are Dr N. Tanuja and Dr M Sujana from Kurnool Medical College, Kurnool, (Central Zone). Three cheers for the winners! The entire quiz was done without the help of any major sponsor from the Pharma industry. This was possible because of untiring and selfless help from the HODs of medical colleges, divisional co-coordinators, zonal co-coordinators and the office bearers of IAP branches. We are thankful to each one of them.

The Indian Journal of Practical Pediatrics sponsored the printing of certificates as well as the gold medals for the winner team members, silver medals for the runners-up and one year's free subscription of IJPP to all the participants of the final round. They have promised to continue the same support this year too. We are indeed obliged to them for their kind gesture.
