Association of Physicians of India (API) was founded in the year 1944 at Madras. Till 1952, the association had no journal. In fact the presidential address delivered by Dr. Jivraj Mehta, the first president of the association was published in the Journal of Indian Medical Association

We propose to publish original articles on medical and allied subjects of a good standard, and invite contributions from all over the country and from abroad.

In addition to original articles, we will have, later on, detailed reports on clinico-pathological conferences, extracts from current modern literature, and association notes etc.
