About Health Research in Africa, Health Res. Afr: Vol 4; (3), March 2026

Health Research in Africa (HRA) is an open source, monthly scholarly, multidisciplinary, peer reviewed medical journal that is partnered to Health Sciences and Disease, the official publication of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (FMBS) of the University of Yaoundé I. Numerous basic health data from African and other developing countries are still lacking in the medical literature and HRA seeks to fill this gap. Therefore, HRA covers all aspects of medicine, pharmacy, biomedical and health sciences, including health technologies, public health and societal issues. However, HRA values mostly pertinent applied research articles with impact on clinical care or public health. It is an “online first” publication, which means that all the publications articles appear on the website before being included in the print journal. The papers are published in full on the website, with open access. Our mission is to inform and educate the health professionals, especially from Africa and other developing countries, and to promote constructive debate on health issues that matter in the management not only of diseases but of health as a whole. Acceptance of manuscripts is based on the originality, the quality of the work and validity of the evidence, the clarity of presentation, and the relevance to our readership. Publications are expected to be concise, well organized and clearly written. Accepted articles benefit from language editing and illustrations enhancement, where necessary. Authors submit a manuscript with the understanding that the manuscript (or its essential substance) has not been published other than as an abstract in any language or format and is not currently submitted elsewhere for print or electronic publication.
