What users are saying

1. But giving 1 star for going out of focus of medicine, for spoiling medicine with politics And uf u want to speak politics then for ur selective blindness towards BRITISH occupied WALES, BRITISH occupied IRELANDand peeping nose into INTERNAL matter of india.Uninstalling app.Wonderful , well organised and helpful for Clinicians and Reasearchers.

2. We demand an immediate withdrawal of the editorial from the online version of the Journal and an unconditional apology from the editorial board to be printed prominently in the next issue of the journalJournal is very good for medical content.

3. Why not just provide the whole list of article titles for each issue to enable users to select articles of interest?The search option should be improved.

4. Highlighting global issues related to health of Vulnerable communities is good policy and is not political in any way.Used to be respectable medical journal.

5. What a pity!!!I love this app only thing is that we to login but it's good for scientists 😉😉and researchesTotally biased, factually incorrect information.

6. Great selection of journals - but inconvenient that you must download all articles from one issue, and then delete all unwanted articles.

7. Expecting a article on British occupied Ireland soon.

8. :(Its not medical journal.

9. Its political journal.

10. Uninstalling!Absolutely difficult to do login or register.

11. I searched by actual name/article, but its shows nothing found.
