CHENNAI PEDIATRIC AIRWAY CONGRESS 2026

---

Welcome to the official portal of the Chennai Pediatric Airway Congress 2026. This year, we gather the brightest minds in pediatric medicine to explore groundbreaking techniques, discuss complex case management, and engage in world-class hands-on simulation training.

Join us in Chennai this September to advance the standards of pediatric airway care.

"Simulation is awesome—it’s a great way to learn. We are excited to bring slide tracheoplasty models and our laryngeal suturing simulators from Seattle to Chennai to show you advanced techniques firsthand." — Dr. Kaalan Johnson, MD
Director of Aerodigestive Program, Seattle Children's Hospital | Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, University of Washington, USA
