Abstract
The importance of maintaining medical records has been well proved and is evident by the advances in this field over the centuries, but in spite of this, record maintenance in India is poor. In this article, we discuss the history of medical record maintenance worldwide and in India as well as its importance. We finally describe our own experience in record maintenance over the last 26 years which was done in a resource-poor setting.
