Guidelines for intensive care unit admission and discharge issued by Government of India

Readers of this news-page would recall reading a news item regarding the pilot project of teaching MBBS in Hindi medium, scheduled to begin from the academic session 2022-23 in Madhya Pradesh, the first state to start MBBS in an Indian language (Mohan A. Undergraduate medical education in Hindi medium: An idea whose time has come. Natl Med J India 2022;35:382-3). 35: 382-3). Close on the heels of this move, another first- of-its-kind announcement has ensued. Commemorating the celebrations of its 200th year, the UK- based medical journal The Lancet Regional Health-Southeast Asia is scheduled to be published in Hindi as well. On the occasion that coincided with the Hindi Diwas (14 September 2023) the Madhya Pradesh Education Minister announced that experts from the Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, and the Madhya Pradesh Directorate of Medical Education will facilitate and coordinate Hindi translation of the journal. The Hindi language version will be published bimonthly and is expected to make science more accessible and inclusive to researchers and students. Earlier, The Lancet had different local language editions; a Chinese version was published for a short duration but has been discontinued.
