Focus and Scope

the Aims of this journal is to provide a venue for academicians, researvhers and practitioners for publishing the original research articles or review articles. the scope of the articles published in this journal deal with a broad range of topics, including :

  1. Epidemiology : Epidemiology is the study of how diseases spread and the factors that influence them within populations. It helps us understand patterns of illness and develop strategies to prevent and control public health issues

  2. Health Education and Promotion involves informing and empowering individuals and communities to adopt healthy behaviors and make informed decisions about their health. It aims to improve health outcomes by providing education, raising awareness, and promoting positive changes in lifestyle and environments.

  3. Environmental health focuses on the interplay between human health and the surrounding environment. It examines how factors such as air and water quality, sanitation, food safety, and exposure to chemicals and pollutants impact human health. Environmental health professionals work to identify and mitigate environmental risks, prevent diseases, and promote health through interventions such as regulation, monitoring, and public education. By addressing environmental hazards and promoting sustainable practices, environmental health aims to safeguard both individual and community well-being.

  4. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is concerned with ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. It involves identifying and mitigating workplace hazards, promoting safe work practices, and protecting workers from occupational injuries and illnesses. OHS aims to create a work environment that fosters employee well-being and prevents work-related accidents and health issues.

  5. Health Administration and Policy involves managing and overseeing healthcare organizations and systems, as well as developing and implementing healthcare policies. It focuses on optimizing the delivery of healthcare services, ensuring efficient operations, and improving access to quality care. Additionally, it entails analyzing and shaping health policies to address current and emerging public health challenges, ultimately aiming to enhance health outcomes for populations.

  6. Biostatistics is the application of statistical methods to biological, medical, and public health research. It involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data to understand patterns, trends, and relationships in biological and health-related phenomena. Biostatisticians play a crucial role in designing studies, conducting experiments, and drawing meaningful conclusions from research findings, ultimately contributing to evidence-based decision-making in healthcare and public health.

  7. Reproductive Health refers to the well-being and maintenance of the reproductive system throughout life. It encompasses a range of topics including family planning, prenatal care, safe childbirth, and prevention and treatment of reproductive disorders and sexually transmitted infections. Reproductive health services aim to ensure individuals have the information, resources, and support needed to make informed decisions about their reproductive lives, ultimately promoting physical, emotional, and social well-being.

  8. Hospital management refers to the administration, coordination, and oversight of all aspects of a healthcare facility's operations to ensure efficient and effective delivery of medical services. It involves managing various departments, such as finance, human resources, medical services, and facilities, to ensure smooth functioning and optimal patient care.

  9. Nutrition science is the study of how nutrients in food affect the body's health, growth, and disease risk. It examines the role of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and other substances in promoting optimal health and preventing illnesses. Nutrition science explores various aspects, including metabolism, digestion, absorption, and utilization of nutrients by the body. It also investigates dietary patterns, behaviors, and their impact on overall well-being. The field aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for healthy eating and disease prevention, considering individual needs, cultural practices, and environmental factors.

  10. A Health Information System (HIS) is a comprehensive framework for managing healthcare data. It encompasses the collection, storage, retrieval, and exchange of patient information within healthcare organizations. HIS integrates various technologies and processes to streamline administrative tasks, clinical workflows, and decision-making. It includes electronic health records (EHRs), health information exchange (HIE), clinical decision support systems (CDSS), and other tools to improve healthcare delivery, patient safety, and population health management. HIS plays a crucial role in enhancing healthcare quality, efficiency, and patient outcomes by facilitating communication, collaboration, and evidence-based practices among healthcare providers.

Peer Review Process

All manuscripts will be subject to editorial review and double blind peer reviews. The Journal editor does not reveal the reviewers credentials to the authors and vice-versa. So both parties are not aware of each other's identity. All indicators of identity such as names, affiliations, etc are removed.

Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. Reviewers will also be asked to indicate how interesting and significant the research is. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board.
Based on the reviewers comments, the editors will then accept or reject the papers with the following conditions: (1) Accept and publish, with or without editorial revisions, (2) Invite the authors to revise their manuscript and address specific concerns, (3) Reject the article outright, typically on grounds of lack of originality, insufficient conceptual advancements or major technical and/or interpretational problems. Any changes made to the original manuscript will be clearly stated for the authors to review.

The authors should carefully examine sentence structure, the completeness and accuracy of the text, references, tables, and graphic contents of the revised manuscript. The Editor-in-Chief will have the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of manuscripts. The Editorial Board reserves the right to edit articles on all aspects of style, format, and clarity. Manuscripts with excessive errors in any aspect, i.e. spelling or punctuation, will be returned to authors for revision before resubmission or may be rejected entirely.
