Farewell and welcome

With the next issue, Dr Arun Bal and Dr Sanjay Nagral step down after three

years as Editor and Assistant Editor, respectively, of Issues in Medical

Ethics. They have taken the journal from strength to strength. As health

activists of long standing, they have worked hard to involve the medical

community in the campaign for good medical practice. Their commitment has

been key to bringing IME to the point where it is today, in the 10th year of

publication, as a quality journal with a national and international

readership. We look forward to Dr Nagral's and Dr Bal's continued

participation in this effort.

We are, at the same time, delighted to announce that from the issue of

January-March 2003, Dr Samiran Nundy and Dr S P Kalantri will join as Editor

and Assistant Editor respectively, of IME. They bring to the journal a

long-standing personal commitment to ethical medical practice, and a keen

interest in developing the discussion on this subject. They have been active

members of our editorial advisory board. Both have been associated with

reputed publications concerned with medical ethics - Dr Kalantri as Editor

of the Medico Friend Circle Bulletin, and Dr Nundy as Editor of the National

Medical Journal of India. The editorial board looks forward to their

leadership as IME enters the 11th year of its publication.
