Eye on India
Being the Group Editor of DTI, I am in regular contact with dental publishers around the world and, occasionally, I am honoured to welcome new faces to our group. This year, for example, I am particularly looking forward to our new collaboration in India. Jaypee Brothers (JP), who joined the DTI network in March, is not only one of the biggest medical and dental publishers on the subcontinent, but also the perfect addition to our group. JP represents a country with a large population and the biggest output of dentists worldwide. I am sure that Dental Tribune Asia Pacific (DTAP) will benefit from their expertise and knowledge in the future.
Unfortunately, another disturbing issue is still with us. Although the media frenzy about the swine flu outbreak has died down, the world is still far from having overcome the crisis. Over the last two months, the virus has found its way from North America through Europe to Asia. There, the World Health Organization has warned, it could combine with avian flu and mutate into a more virulent form, sparking an influenza pandemic that could be expected to circle the globe up to three times. Infection control has never been more important!
