However, the new facility http://www.mdconsult.com allows doctors in India unlimited searching of the full text of all these books and journals for a full year.

This information is constantly updated and doctors only need an Internet connection to access it at any time from anywhere, a HELP statement said.

The 37 full text medical reference books cover all fields of medicine, including Nelson's textbook of paediatrics, Cecil's textbooks of medicine, Kaplan and Sadock's comprehensive textbook of surgery and others.

Doctors also have access to a complete patient education library with over 2,500 patient education handouts, which they can personalise with their special instructions for their patients and print them, prescription information for more than 30,000 medications and more than 600 peer reviewed clinical practice guidelines so that they can keep up with the latest developments in their fields.
