The journal grows Dr. OP Ghai as editor from 1973-75.

In his first Editorial, Prof. OP Ghai who took over as Editor in January 1973 noted with satisfaction that ‘The Journal ranks as one of the foremost ... in India with high academic standards and regular publication. The journal is now financially viable in this period of rising costs and diminishing revenues. Credit for this achievement, to a large measure, is due to the confidence reposed by the members of the Academy in the Editor [1]. He asserted that ‘A medical journal is not only a repository of articles for archives, but is also a living medium for communication of information of practical use to the readers. Journal of the professional society reflects the image of the organization through the quality of scientific contributions by the members.’
