Avicenna

Avicenna is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that is dedicated to advancing global public health knowledge and practice. With a particular focus on the Middle East and other regions facing major and unique public health challenges, the journal serves as a platform for fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation in healthcare policy, management, and delivery.

The Avicenna journal publishes original research articles, review papers, case reports, letters to the editor, and expert commentaries and editorials that address key issues in public health, healthcare policy, and administration. Priority topics include, but are not limited to:

• Public Health Policy and Systems: Health economics, governance, policy innovation, and comparative studies.
• Global Health Challenges: Health equity, social determinants of health, and responses to pandemics.
• Healthcare Management and Administration: Quality improvement, leadership strategies, and operational efficiency.
• Health Technology and Innovation: The integration of artificial intelligence, digital health solutions, and data-driven decision-making in healthcare systems.
• Ethics and Equity in Health: Public health ethics, access to care, and community engagement strategies.
• Cultural Dimensions of Health: The role of medical humanities, health literacy, and regional socio-cultural factors in shaping health outcomes.

While maintaining a strong regional focus on the Middle East, the journal actively seeks contributions that provide international comparisons, cross-regional insights, or innovative approaches with global implications. The journal aims to engage researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and academics worldwide by promoting content that informs effective policymaking and fosters evidence-based solutions to contemporary public health challenges.
