2018 has been an eventful year for the country, especially in the medical arena. A lot has happened and it has left all of us in anticipation of the coming year 2019. MBBS curriculum revised after more than two decades … an ambitious target for complete elimination of tuberculosis (TB) from the country by 2025 … legislations have been passed …. some only by the Lower House …. some have been tabled in the Parliament and are yet to be discussed before they can be enacted … outbreaks ….natural calamities…. These were but few of the stories that made headlines this year.
