Who We Are
PRiNT (Indian Pediatric Renal Nutrition Task Force) is a professional collaborative dedicated to advancing pediatric renal nutrition through education, knowledge sharing and capacity building.
Our initiative brings together pediatric nephrologists, renal dietitians and other allied healthcare professionals with a shared goal of improving nutritional outcomes for children living with kidney disease in India and the larger South Asian region.
We believe that optimal nutritional care is fundamental to growth, development and long-term health in children with kidney disorders. Through collaborative learning and evidence-informed practice, we aim to strengthen renal nutrition services across India and beyond.

PRiNT India Team
The Indian Paediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce (PRiNT) brings together like-minded pediatric nephrologists and dietitians united by a shared commitment: closing the gaps in pediatric renal nutrition care across India. Working hand in hand, this team blends clinical and dietetic expertise to translate evidence into practical, family-friendly guidance for children living with kidney disease.
Beyond India, PRiNT collaborates with the global renal nutrition community to address inequities in access and advance better treatment for children everywhere — because a child’s postal code should never determine the quality of nutritional care they receive.
