SUPPORT AND SUBSCRIPTION
I have written to the Chief Executives Officers and
Chief Medical Directors of teaching hospitals and Federal Medical Centres to
support the journal and subscribe at a subsidized rate. I am glad that a few
teaching hospitals and Federal Medical Centres have responded. I will be glad
if fellows can kindly encourage their institutional/centers to subscribe for their departmental libraries and
for their resident doctors. This has the potential to improve your
accreditation ratings.
