We are pleased to announce the introduction of a Maternal and Neonatal Health section to the African Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine (PHCFM) journal.

 

This strategic addition is set to tackle pressing health challenges and align with global health priorities, thereby promoting specialised research and enhancing interdisciplinary collaborations.

 

Our goal is to significantly improve health outcomes for women, mothers and newborns by disseminating cutting-edge studies and evidence-based practices.

 

This new section will be an invaluable resource for practitioners and policymakers, guiding them in implementing effective strategies to save lives and elevate healthcare quality. Moreover, it will amplify the journal's prestige, expand its readership, and support capacity building by offering substantial opportunities for emerging researchers and practitioners.

 

We look forward to the transformative impact this section will have on the field of reproductive, maternal, and neonatal health and invite your submissions in this field of study.
