Thank you Neil for sharing this highly significant advocacy for HIFA’s mission. It really feels good to have such support from such influential publication and its Editor.
And Thanks also for reminding us of the first publication by you et al in 2004. I hope that with Fiona GODLEE gone from BMJ after x17 high impact years at the helm, we can build similar ( if not stronger ) relationship with the new BMJ Editor-in-Chief, Kamran Abbasi.
