Hope 2018 infuses fresh energy into
bioscience sector!
Here we meet again in a brand new
year, energized and full of fresh ideas.
The last one year has been full of
action. Be it the new product launches
or policy decisions, R&D outcomes or
events, the ground zero activities have
gained pace. However, despite
numerous positives, the pending list
continues to be huge as well.
At the same time, 2018 is expected to bring out historic decisions from policymakers.
There is much that requires to be done in the new year. What about universal health
coverage or increase in funding allocations to healthcare and R&D? Will the BRAI bill see
the light in the new year? Will the industry succeed in launching bigger and better
products? These are among the few crucial questions that may get answers or maybe not.
Yet let’s all welcome the New Year 2018 with open arms. This is the time to forget bitter
moments and look ahead to the best that might happen in the times ahead. . We hope
that the barriers get broken and clear roadmap is laid out. While we can’t predict what
exactly will turn out in the future, staying positive does matter!
This special edition of BioVoice features detailed cover story on that looks at the various
policy initiatives taken within bioscience industry in the previous year. The series of
exclusive interviews and features cover variety of topics. Happy reading.
Wish you all a very happy new year 2018!
