Aims and Scope
The Ethiopian Journal of Health and Biomedical Sciences (EJHBS) is a premier, peer-reviewed, open-access platform dedicated to the advancement of health and medical sciences. Our mission is to bridge the gap between rigorous research and clinical application, providing an Ethiopian and African perspective on global health challenges.
1. Our Vision: Local Evidence, Global Impact
While EJHBS is deeply rooted in the Ethiopian health landscape, we serve a global audience. We prioritize research that offers evidence-based solutions for health systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). By showcasing regional innovations and epidemiological data, we contribute to the global discourse on universal health coverage, infectious disease management, and clinical excellence.
2. Core Thematic Areas
EJHBS welcomes high-quality original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses across three primary pillars:
Public Health & Health Systems:
- Epidemiology of infectious and non-communicable diseases.
- Health policy, economics, and universal healthcare delivery.
- Environmental health, nutrition, and social determinants of health in developing contexts.
Biomedical & Pharmaceutical Sciences:
- Molecular biology, genetics, and microbiology.
- Pharmacology, traditional medicine, and drug development.
- Advancements in medical technologies and diagnostics.
Clinical & Medical Sciences:
- Patient care innovations in surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics.
- Medical education and the development of the healthcare workforce.
- Case reports that provide unique clinical insights or rare diagnostic findings.
3. Interdisciplinary & Special Issues
In line with our commitment to healthcare development, EJHBS actively encourages interdisciplinary submissions and Special Issues. We focus on themes that promote collaboration across professional groups, including nursing, pharmacy, and public health, to foster a holistic approach to research and development.
4. Commitment to Quality
EJHBS adheres to the highest standards of publishing ethics. All submissions undergo a stringent double-blind peer review process managed by an international board of experts. We are committed to fostering a geographical reach that includes authors and content from across the globe, emphasizing the unique contribution of African researchers to the international scientific community.
