Global healthcare knowledge provider BMJ has announced BMJ Innovations - a new quarterly online journal, in collaboration with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
This new online only subscription based journal will add to BMJ's growing stable of international titles, under the editorship of Prof. Balram Bhargava at AIIMS, with an international team assisting him.
The idea behind the launch of this journal is to promote innovative research which creates new, cost effective medical devices, services and platforms that improve patient care, with particular focus on the needs of patients, physicians, and the health care industry as a whole and to act as a platform to catalyse and seed more innovations.
The editorial team from India will comprise representatives from Public Health Foundation of India, IIT Delhi, Stanford BioDesign India, and Narayana Hrudayalaya Group of Hospitals. They will be joined by an international board of other researchers and experts in innovation covering the US, Singapore, UK, and Australia to fully embrace the global programme and appeal to a wider international audience.
The new journal will launch in December 2014.
