Message From The Desk of Vice-Chancellor

It gives me immense pleasure to extend my heartfelt greetings to the editorial teams, contributors, and readers of the esteemed journals published under the aegis of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore.

As a premier health sciences university, RGUHS is committed to fostering academic excellence, innovation, and evidence-based practice across all health disciplines. The journals representing the faculties of Medical, Dental, AYUSH, Pharmacy, Nursing, Allied Health Sciences, Physiotherapy, and Public Health serve as vital platforms for scholarly communication, critical inquiry, and the dissemination of research that advances the health and well-being of society.

In an era where interdisciplinary collaboration and translational research are paramount, these journals play a crucial role in bridging gaps between traditional knowledge and modern scientific approaches. I commend the dedication of our faculty, researchers, and students who contribute their insights and findings, enriching the scientific community both nationally and globally.

I encourage all departments and researchers to uphold the highest standards of research integrity, peer review, and academic rigor. Let us continue to nurture a culture of inquiry, uphold ethical values, and contribute to the growth of knowledge that benefits humanity at large.

Wishing all the journals continued success in their mission to inspire, inform, and impact.

With best regards,

Dr Bhagavan B C
