About the Pan African Medical Journal (PAMJ)


The Pan African Medical Journal (PAMJ) is an accessible, peer-reviewed international journal committed to advancing general health across the African continent and globally. Launched in early 2008, the PAMJ was established with the input and ideas of medical and public health professionals across Africa to address the critical need for a dynamic platform dedicated to the dissemination of regional healthcare research.

Operated under the oversight of the Pan African Medical Center for Public Information and Research (PAMJ-CEPHRI), an international NGO registered with the Kenya NGO Board, the journal maintains physical editorial offices in Nairobi, Kenya, and Cameroon.


Our Core Mission

Our core mission is to function as a dynamic platform for the dissemination of research conducted across Africa. We aim to create, stimulate, and perpetuate a vibrant culture of information sharing and scholarly publishing among researchers, clinicians, and other health actors on the African health scene. Through our publications, we strive to increase the global availability of health information, foster a better understanding of Africa-specific healthcare contexts, and ultimately improve overall health outcomes.


Scope and Sections

The PAMJ targets a diverse global audience, including doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, academic researchers, students, and policymakers. We accept manuscripts from all over the world, publishing in both English and French.

The journal covers a broad spectrum of subjects across clinical medicine and public health, expanding into the social, political, and economic factors that affect population health. We publish submissions across several key clinical and editorial categories:

  • Original Research & Field Studies: Rigorous quantitative and qualitative research or investigations clinical outcomes, disease burdens, healthcare delivery.
  • Public Health & Epidemiology: Outbreak investigations, surveillance data analysis, and technical papers tracking infectious and non-communicable diseases.
  • Clinical practice: Case Reports, Case Series, and multimedia submissions including Images in Clinical Medicine and Videos in Clinical Medicine.
  • Reflective & Policy Pieces: Editorials, Opinions, Essays, Short Communications, and Correspondences that reflect the frontline experiences of healthcare professionals working in Africa.
