Heralding the New Year 2017, the Indian health industry looks poised to continue its successful run. The early signs of an action-packed year are already visible as Indian healthcare companies build on a solid foundation laid during the last year. However, as the industry surges ahead to explore new possibilities, it is crucial to take a look into the bygone year with all its challenges and opportunities — some of which were realised while others missed.
Cancer has emerged as a major public healthcare challenge in India, with 14-15 lakh new cancer cases being reported each year in the country.

It is against this backdrop that the January edition of eHealth magazine highlights how efforts are ongoing to enhance immunity towards cancer. The cover story Unravelling the Magic Within underscores the strength of immunotherapy in offering groundbreaking results in the fight against cancer.
Our special story Newsmakers of 2016:Measuring the Pulse of 2016 talks about how healthcare firms successfully rode on the robust primary markets in 2016.
