Policy Statement – ‘Partners for Business, Industry and Professional Bodies’
IML is responsive in establishing institutional relationships with business, industry, and professional bodies, working in a sustained and mutually beneficial way, and helping both partners to achieve their respective goals. Our endeavor is to bridge the gap between education, research, and business, and to bring together the government, NGOs, industry and academicians on a common platform for common benefit. We believe that corporate involvement in medical laws is the need of the hour. On one hand, corporate partnership provides resources and reach which can be optimally utilized by the Institute to provide better and affordable education and for research activities. On the other hand, the Institute’s knowledge, expertise, programs, and facilities can be utilized by the corporate partner to gain a competitive edge in their business activities. The avowed purpose of medical laws, i.e. ‘to make medicine safer’ can be achieved in a more efficient, extensive and expeditious manner through this association. IML offers a number of structured opportunities for corporate involvement and a framework which enables corporate partners to work closely with the Institute. There are many ways in which hospitals, medical associations, and pharmaceutical companies of all sizes can develop their relationship with the Institute.
