Aims and Scope

The Rwanda Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences is a biannual (twice a year), peer reviewed journal which resulted from merger of the Rwanda Journal of Health Sciences and the Rwanda Journal Series F: Health Sciences. It publishes topics of special interest and those that have relevance in various health related fields including but not limited to medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nursing, public health, nutrition, health management and policy, and other health sciences. The Journal accepts quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies, each evaluated for their scientific rigor and validity. The following types of manuscripts will be considered for publication in the journal: original research, review articles, short communications, letters to the editor, personal views, lessons from the field, editorials, and case reports. Each of these is further elaborated below. The journal may publish supplements of conference proceedings or special editions.
