About the Journal
Publishing evidence to advance health equity and strengthen health systems worldwide.
The International Journal of Global Health
IJGH is an international open access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research that addresses the health challenges facing populations in low- and middle-income countries and advances our understanding of global health priorities.
The International Journal of Global Health exists to accelerate the translation of research into policy and practice. We publish research covering the full spectrum of global health challenges—from infectious diseases to non-communicable diseases, from maternal and child health to health systems strengthening, from epidemiological analysis to implementation science.
IJGH prioritizes research with direct implications for health policy and practice in resource-limited settings:
Infectious Diseases
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, neglected tropical diseases, emerging pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance.
Non-Communicable Diseases
Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, mental health, and chronic respiratory conditions in LMICs.
Maternal & Child Health
Maternal mortality reduction, neonatal care, child nutrition, immunization programs, and reproductive health.
Health Systems
Health workforce, service delivery, financing, governance, and essential medicines access in resource-limited settings.
Epidemiology
Disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, burden of disease studies, and demographic trends.
Implementation Science
Scaling up evidence-based interventions, program evaluation, and health policy analysis.
