Issues in Medical Ethics is the quarterly journal of the Forum for 
Medical Ethics Society, a not-for-profit, voluntary organisation based 
in Mumbai, India.

Through essays, debates, reports, book reviews case studies and other 
material, IME provides a platform for discussion on health care ethics 
with special reference to the problems of developing countries like 
India. 

Journal will provide the stage for discussions on ticklish situations 
and help evolve a consensus on actions consistent with ethical 
practice. We also hope to increase awareness of patients on what they 
should expect from their doctors as a matter of right as well as what 
the doctor has a right to expect of them. Highlighting rights and 
responsibilities may be a potent means of ensuring strong public 
opinion in favour of ethical practices and, at the same time, easing 
the task of the honest and truthful doctor. 

The Journal will not only provide essays, results of surveys and 
reviews that provide food for thought but will also feature a 
correspondence column where we can carry on meaningful dialogues, air 
our grievances, pose problems for which our colleagues may have answers 
and focus attention on vital issues. 

Online access is free.
