Well thought hardwork and commitment pay, and there is no doubt from my view that Dr Melissa qualifies for the appointment she got. That is of expected from her and her editorial team that BMC will continue flying in the sky with very useful papers for public health development in the world. Cheers!

That is to congratulate her and every one who has been using BMC services for the new Editor In Chief. This is also to appreciate the role played by the going out Editor In Chief whose work was also invaluable. Let us wish both of them in their career and personal development.
