Abstract

Over the last three decades, medical councils in India have come under fire for rampant corruption and failure in the governance of medical education and practice. In fact, this journal itself grew out of the disquiet felt by a section of medical professionals at the barefaced corruption they witnessed in electoral practices, when contesting elections to the Maharashtra Medical Council in 1992 [1]. That experience triggered a movement of doctors and non-medical individuals for reform in the governance of healthcare, resulting in the birth of this journal in 1993. This also helped advance the disciplines of bioethics and healthcare ethics and humanities in India.
