The Medical ‘Eveningers’

Abstract

Only a few years ago my main complaint was the great dearth of medical publicat ions and indigenously generated medical data. I cannot make that complaint now. It seems that I do not even have time to read through the various small booklets and throw-away medical ‘newspapers’ that clutter my desk every week without end. Iut was that one ‘s complaint when there were so few publications and is everyone satisfied with the situation now? A shameful situation is it not for a country with only one Journal listed by the international Index Medicus and only three Journals recognized by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council.
