Aims and Scope

Aims:

Journal of Health Policy and Management (JHPM) is electronic, open access, peer-reviewed journal. It publishes research articles in the areas of health policy, health planning, health system, and health care management, with a special focus on low- and middle-income countries. The journal began its publication on October 21, 2015, and it is published twice yearly.

Scope:

The JPHM provides a platform for publishing original and high-quality research that ad­dresses questions pertinent to policy-makers, health care managers, public health re­searchers, and health care practitioners. The journal covers a broad range of topics from different fields, notably health policy, health management, health economics, epide­mi­ology, social/ public policy, and philosophy. JHPM welcomes studies using multi­dis­cipli­nary or integrative approaches.

Special encouragement is given to research papers addressing health issues in developing countries, as health policy and management issues impacting populations in the deve­lop­ing world are currently under-documented and underreported in the existing interna­tional journals.
