From the Editors Desk (First issue, March 2006) :
The concept was provided by the Management of PIMS as it was felt that
this institution being thirty years old. It was about time that the rest
of the world took cognizance of the various scientific and
socio-medico-cultural activities being undertaken. This is one of the
few institution located in a rural area providing comprehensive medical
care from the primary to the tertiary level to the rural people. We are
proud of what we achieved in this span of time and would like to share
our experiences with the rest of the country and the world. We moved on
from there and take satisfaction in the fact that we have been able to
achieve reasonably good results considering time constraints. We
received tremendous response to appeals made to various departments in
the form of original articles. case reports etc. so much so that we
unable to publish all available material in the inaugural edition.
