"MRIC & MRIC Global Essay Contest: International comparison of health care system"

During the last nine months, since Medical Research Information Center has started to launch an online healthcare newsletter called MRIC Global, we published a total of 31articles. A majority of contributors were healthcare professionals, and they shared unique episodes related to healthcare systems in their countries. Others also illustrated the remarkable experiences they had by observing different health care systems in foreign countries.

Both types of stories from the frontline of medical fields were impressive. It once again exhibited that the healthcare system could develop, reflecting various local contexts, including health burden, availability of human and medical resources, and cultural and historical backgrounds. In this respect, we believe that readers, as well as we editors, could learn lots of insights from these essays.

As a part of attempts promoting such communications, we are pleased to announce our upcoming Essay Contest. The theme of the contest is "Comparison of healthcare systems between countries and regions." We welcome submissions from all over the world as well as from those not involved in healthcare.
