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.
在过去的三十年里，印度的医学委员会因猖獗的腐败和在医学教育和实践的治理方面的失败而受到抨击。事实上，本刊本身就是由一部分医疗专业人员对他们在 1992 年马哈拉施特拉邦医学委员会选举中目睹的公然腐败感到不安而产生的[1]。那次经历引发了医生和非医疗人员要求改革医疗保健治理的运动，促成了本刊于 1993 年的诞生。这也有助于推动印度的生物伦理学和医疗保健伦理及人文科学的发展。
