Scope/Description:

World MedicalHealth Policy is dedicated to the intersection of policy politics medicine and public health. The Journals objective is to help improve global health by broadly considering policy context processes outcomes and influences.Policy and politics often blur the boundaries between medical and scientific evidence and social values especially in a globalizing world. Medical practice occurs in an increasingly complex environment governed by global trade sociocultural interactions and rapid technological advances. Regulations laws international relations and natural and human made disasters all influence medical care and preventive services. Global economic imperatives diplomacy disasters and humanitarian interventions impact health outcomesoften in unexpected and unintended ways. The World MedicalHealth Policy Journal will highlight the practical implications of political and policy choices and will include opinions and case studies from practitioners in the field alongside scholarly research articles. By bringing a global policy perspective to medical practice the journal helps readers navigate the often tangled world of regulations liability and standards of care and deepens their awareness of ethics practices and the socioeconomic context in which they are created. By translating empirical evidence into policy the journal also helps policymakers design programs and promote regulations that improve health outcomes with special attention to proper allocation of scarce resources and needs of vulnerable populations.
