Abstract
The Indus Health Network (IHN) is becoming a major player in Pakistan’s healthcare system. With expanding hospitals, rehabilitation centres, blood banks and public health programs, it provides free-of-cost, accessible, high quality healthcare without discrimination to increasing numbers of ordinary people. ICON, the biennial medical conference hosted by IHN, is a natural beneficiary of this success. It is now a leading platform for sharing excellence in healthcare and research with internationally renowned delegates and a multidisciplinary audience. ICON 2020, the fifth of its series, has an opportunity to go one step further. In this month’s edition of the Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences, we are delighted to share and highlight biomedical research at IHN. Distinctly translational and collaborative, IHN supports research via the Indus Hospital Research Centre (IHRC), from study design to publication through to initiating novel service delivery application. The scientific, clinical and programmatic advantage of sharing knowledge and experience, be it rare case reports to trials with international collaborators, is thus at the heart of this first ever publication. It aims to consolidate ethical scientific enquiry at IHN with emphasis on multidisciplinary and thematic research to bridge gaps in knowledge and practice
