**Global Release of Button Battery Awareness Video **
I am extremely thrilled and honored to share that I have conceptualized and created an awareness video on button battery ingestion, a critical but often overlooked pediatric emergency.
The video highlights the serious complications associated with button battery ingestion in children, including GI burns and perforations tracheoesophageal fistula, and even life-threatening consequences.
I am humbled that this initiative has been highly appreciated by FISPGHAN (Federation of International Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition). On the occasion of *Button Battery Awareness Day – 12th June,* the video has been officially adopted for global dissemination through various international pediatric societies.
I am sharing the video with you to help spread awareness among parents, caregivers, healthcare providers, and the public. Your support in disseminating it widely could help save lives.
Thank you.
Warm regards,
*Dr. Neelam Mohan*
