The first Indian edition of the internationally acclaimed BMJ awards
BMJ, one of the worlds leading healthcare knowledge providers, will be hosting the inaugural edition of the BMJ awards in India. The awards will be held on 20 September 2014 in New Delhi to give recognition to the best individuals and teams that demonstrated exemplary commitment to the practice of medicine. The 2014 awards will showcase knowledge, expertise and practices that have helped transform the healthcare ecosystem in India.
The idea behind the launch of these Awards in India is to provide a platform to showcase the exceptional work done by doctors in India, across the breadth of the Indian healthcare landscape”right from the metros to the rural towns of the country. Dubbed the medical Oscars, the event has become a key date in the medical calendar in the UK.
Mr. Anand Ekambaram, Managing Director, BMJ India said, The BMJ aims to improve health and make a real difference to clinical practice worldwide. We are delighted to launch the inaugural edition of the BMJ awards in India. It will honour courage, determination, vision, and insight in medicine by felicitating individuals, organisations and initiatives that demonstrated an outstanding and measureable contribution across the healthcare community. BMJ awards will not only provide a platform to enhance the existing relationship with the healthcare community but will also offer an opportunity to meet key influencers in the country.
BMJ Awards has been long-established in UK since 2009 and has even attracted winning entries directly from India in recent years. In 2011, there were two winners from India in the categories of Innovation in Healthcare and Medical Team in a Crisis Zone.

Our ambition is to provide doctors an opportunity to highlight some of their best initiatives and to inspire, motivate and support the contributions of Indian healthcare professionals.
