IJMA shall be a catalyst for developing the next generation of top-notch researchers, scientists, academics, and public health leaders in the developing world by providing a platform for peer mentorship, intellectual exchange, and academic publishing.

  • <h7>To be a partner for women and girls against violence and injustice, you do not have to be experts on human rights or gender.

Four Global Health Interns

We are happy to announce the selection of our first cohort of four Global Health Interns"/>

Aims and Scope

The International Journal of MCH and AIDS (IJMA) is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, clinical studies, evaluation studies, and policy analyses in all areas of maternal, infant, child health, (MCH) and HIV/AIDS in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), also referred to as developing countries. The journal focuses on the social determinants of health and disease as well as on the disparities in the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases affecting infants, children, women, adults, and families in developing countries.

IJMA focuses primarily on MCH and HIV/AIDS issues in developing countries. However, high-quality papers, opinion articles, and commentaries from scientists, researchers, and experts working with developing country populations in non-LMICs will also be considered. Consideration will also be given to cross-national studies that compare health and social inequalities between the developing and developed countries.

Frequency

IJMA is currently published two times per year.

Key Words

Maternal, Child, Neonatal, Health, HIV, AIDS, Social Determinants, Health Disparities, Inequality, Epidemiology, Nutrition, Developing Countries, Low and Middle Income Countries, Antenatal Care, Economic Development, Communicable Diseases, Non-Communicable Diseases.
