International Journal of Health Planning and Management

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management is the definitive journal in its field. It seeks to address this important area from multi-dimensional viewpoints, and to be relevant to the health sectors of all economies and cultures.

Today, planning and management are widely recognized as vitally important for the development of health, and for the efficiency and control of those activities that impact upon health. At the same time, the economic circumstances facing countries world-wide present a great challenge for health planning and management. The aim of this quarterly Journal is to respond to this challenge, by offering a forum and outlet for publications that direct attention to major issues in health planning and management systems and practices. Overall, the intention is to maintain a sound balance between practice and theory, from a variety of schools of thought.

The Journal is explicitly international and multidisciplinary in scope and appeal: articles about planning and management issues in countries at various stages of social, cultural and economic development are to be welcomed, as are those directed at the different levels (national, regional, local, etc.) of the health sector. Manuscripts are invited from a spectrum of different disciplines (medicine, management and the social sciences), provided that these advance our knowledge and understanding of the health sector, broadly defined. The Journal thereby brings together work which in the past has been too widely scattered throughout the literature.
