    Abstract Healthcare is the most essential requirement for a better quality of life. Governments throughout the world ensure the establishment of improved healthcare systems that are on par with global healthcare systems for people, irrespective of their socioeconomic situation. It is crucial to understand the status of healthcare establishments existing in a country. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic posed an imminent challenge concerning the quality of healthcare in various countries throughout the world. There were different types of problems faced by most nations irrespective of their socioeconomic status and financial capabilities. India also struggled to cope with the initial times of the COVID-19 pandemic wherein the hospitals were overwhelmed with patients and limited infrastructural capabilities, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality. The greatest achievement of the Indian healthcare system was to increase access to healthcare by encouraging private players and boosting public-private partnerships to deliver better healthcare to people. Moreover, the Indian government ensured healthcare access to people from rural areas by establishing teaching hospitals. However, the major drawback in the Indian healthcare system appears to be illiteracy among people and exploitation by healthcare stakeholders that include physicians, surgeons, pharmacists, and capitalists, including hospital management and pharmaceutical industries. Nevertheless, like two sides to a coin, the Indian healthcare system has both pros and cons. The limitations in the healthcare system need to be addressed to improve the quality of healthcare provided to people in general and especially during disease outbreaks similar to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract Medical education is a systematic process wherein interested and eligible individuals are trained to become physicians/surgeons. It is assumed that a person who completes the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS) degree will be competent enough to perform the duties of a physician of first contact. However, it is not the case with graduates from India. Most MBBS graduates prefer to pursue a postgraduate degree and become unavailable to people or governments. The doctor-to-patient ratio in India (1:1,655) does not currently satisfy the World Health Organization's prescribed ratio (1:1,000). The Government of India, therefore, has been taking initiatives to increase the number of MBBS graduates. Moreover, there are several doubts over the quality of medical education and the competency of medical students. In addition, the National Medical Commission, the epic body that regulates the medical education and practice in India, has recently been conducting medical education technology workshops to improve teachers and has devised a new curriculum to elevate the standards of medical education in India. This editorial attempts to provide readers with the current status of medical education and research in India.

    Abstract The emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases are not uncommon to humans. We have been seeing this, repeated many a time in the past, that the new/novel microbial species emerge and pose a potential threat to the whole of mankind. Among those infectious diseases which threatened mankind, the Smallpox virus appears to have had the greatest impact. Smallpox virus was suspected to be present on the earth since 10,000 B.C., but its presence and the effect on humans was established only in the late 18th century to the early 20th century when people suffered from its consequences. Most people (>75%) infected with smallpox died, leaving a sense of doom among humans. Later, or probably during the same time, there was the emergence of an infectious disease called “plague”, which swept across many countries and caused a lot of mortality. This disease was also called the black death, due to the nature of lesions caused and the thousands of people who were dying in very less time. We have also seen the emergence of a novel influenza virus, the Spanish flu (1918) which caused a severe pandemic. Interestingly, all these infectious diseases caused pandemics involving several countries, and causing increased mortality, especially in the European continent. In this editorial I discuss the significance of the most recent pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2), also called Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19).

    Abstract Clinical research is an alternative terminology used to describe medical research. Clinical research involves people, and it is generally carried out to evaluate the efficacy of a therapeutic drug, a medical/surgical procedure, or a device as a part of treatment and patient management. Moreover, any research that evaluates the aspects of a disease like the symptoms, risk factors, and pathophysiology, among others may be termed clinical research. However, clinical trials are those studies that assess the potential of a therapeutic drug/device in the management, control, and prevention of disease. In view of the increasing incidences of both communicable and non-communicable diseases, and especially after the effects that Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) had on public health worldwide, the emphasis on clinical research assumes extremely essential. The knowledge of clinical research will facilitate the discovery of drugs, devices, and vaccines, thereby improving preparedness during public health emergencies. Therefore, in this review, we comprehensively describe the critical elements of clinical research that include clinical trial phases, types, and designs of clinical trials, operations of trial, audit, and management, and ethical concerns.
