Fever Foundation as an educational trust attempts to address this by recognizing unmet patient needs and organizing this platform for doctors each year to discuss in diagnosis and management of fever."

More than 30,000 doctors participated in the previous edition of the Fever Foundation Conference. FeFCon 2022 witnessed an all-time high registration of more than 50,000 doctors, out of which 5000 joined the event. A special knowledge-cum-fun quiz session and poster competition for doctors from paediatrics and internal medicine specialties were the high-point of the event and saw active involvement from participants." Dr A Muruganathan, Imm. Past Governor, American College of Physicians India Chapter and Past President, Association of Physicians of India (API), shared that, "Fever Foundation is committed to imparting correct and updated knowledge around understanding fever. Our focus is on scientific engagement and educating doctors on fever management and our participants find this very useful, which explains the growing registrations at our annual FeFCon event every year.
