Dear Editor,
“The cover story in Biovoice magazine’s March issue was
quite relevant and timely. The medical technology industry
in in the middle of a heated debate over pricing of stents
and you have presented a balanced overview of the subject.
I feel the government must take along all the stakeholders
by addressing their key issues. Hope the medical technology
gets big push soon.”

“The interview of Dr Harsh Mahajan in Biovoice magazine
was very interesting. It was nice to hear his straightforward
views on the healthcare industry in India. Dr Mahajan is
truly a son of the soil for Indian diagnostic industry. We need
more people like him. Thanks and Regards.”

“Your editorial was eye opening. The entrepreneurs in India
have to go through lot of unnecessary bureaucracy in India.
Their talent and brilliance is not enough for them to make
gold. Yet there are exceptions but the overall scenario hasn’t
gone to a stage where we say all is well. No it isn’t! So,
kudos to you for raising the valid issue and more importantly
putting emphasis on word empathy.”

“I have few suggestions for the magazine. Can you add
few more sections on achievements of first generation
entrepreneurs in biotechnology as well as more focus on
fresh startups? I am sure you will be taking up the issues
relevant to current biotech scenario as well. Best wishes.”
