Articles

International Journal of Health publishes original, peer-reviewed research that advances understanding in the fields of public health, global health, and healthcare systems. The journal welcomes both theoretical and applied contributions that address health policy, preventive medicine, epidemiology, and innovations in healthcare delivery and management.

Research Articles – Empirical studies presenting new findings in epidemiology, health systems, preventive medicine, environmental health, or healthcare innovation. Articles should follow the IMRAD structure and include clear methodology, results, discussion, and practical implications for policy and practice.

Review Articles – Systematic or narrative reviews synthesizing current developments in public health, health education, or global disease management. Reviews should summarize existing research, identify key gaps, and propose directions for future studies and policy recommendations.

Case Studies – Practical examples or analyses of health interventions, program implementation, or community-based health initiatives. Case studies should describe the context, implementation process, challenges, and measurable outcomes for improving public health.

Policy and Practice Papers – Analytical and evidence-based discussions on healthcare management, policy frameworks, and health governance. Submissions may include modeling, feasibility analysis, or comparative evaluation of national and international health systems.
