Steadily growing demand for heightened awareness in the medical fraternity prompted us to launch this newspaper. The
Drug Today Medical Times
has set for itself a twin objective. While on the one hand it aims to
keep the general public informed about the latest developments in the
field of medicine and guide them through healthcare, on the other, it is
a platform to share their knowledge and experiments.
Even though
health is an integral part of our lives, it does not get the importance
due to it. It has been noticed that we generally do not care to keep
ourselves updated with latest developments in the field of health and
hygiene. A small segment of the population dedicated to the cause of
healthcare can not suffice the purpose, nor can they do justice to the
medical requirement of an entire community.
Young and old, rich and poor, health is the essence of everybody’s life. Yet, it is the most neglected subject in our country.
This
could be partly because of our laidback attitude, and partly because
the subject has assumed an aura of an elitist concept around it. We tend
to neglect our individual healthcare requirements till we develop some
complications. Unless we feel the need for some medical intervention, we
don’t even visit a doctor.
Doctor though treats our diseases; he
is not responsible for our day-today healthcare needs. We alone can
take care of our health needs.
The
Drug Today Medical Times
is an attempt to generate interest in health and hygiene among the
people and keep them abreast of latest developments in the field of
medicine through news and features in a simple and lucid style which a
layman would find comprehensible and interesting.
Recognizing the
need for interesting and informative content for a growing
health-conscious Indian audience, we have taken an initiative to fill a
communication void in the form of the DTMT.
The newspaper is
first of its kind national level medical newspaper with a focus on
medical issues beyond the professional domain. Here is the DTMT in your
hand, a unique effort at bringing out the best of medical journalism
with feature content ranging from current affairs in the medical world,
pharma news and medical reviews to advancements in the field of medicine
like robotic surgery, regeneration of stem cells and also the
time-tested practices of Ayurveda, yoga and homeopathy.
As a
newspaper, our endeavor would be to provide an overall perspective to
our readers so that they are empowered to make informed choices for
their healthcare and medical needs. The DTMT will zealously counter the
forces that undermine the value of healthcare, be it political, social,
or commercial. We seek to publish high-end information and real news as
they happen. Our commitment to the national and international health
ensures that research and analysis from all regions of the world is
widely covered.
Critical appraisal of medical issues will be
ensured by comment and correspondence sections. With the DTMT we aim to
carry forward the legacy of the Drug Today, South Asia’s leading medical
journal, to provide the most efficient and reliable information both to
the healthcare providers and the general public. In the last twenty
years of our existence, the
Drug Today has emerged the
largest circulated medical journal in the region. In line with the Drug
Today, the DTMT will be a reformist medical newspaper breaking barriers
and bridging gaps between medicos, government and the general public.
In
order to achieve this aim we invite original submissions in a variety
of formats, including peer-reviewed articles, points of view, book
reviews, success stories and most importantly criticism. Please feel
free to send in your comments and submissions at
info@drugtodayonline.com. On behalf of the team at the DTMT, I would
like to thank you all for your continued support and valued patronage.
