About this journal

The Asian Journal of Medical Humanities (AJMEDH) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal launched by the Seventh Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University in 2022. The primary aim of AJMEDH is to elevate an international platform for interdisciplinary and intercultural collaborations across the medical humanities community. The journal also strives to provide a professional and dedicated publication outlet for original, state-of-the-art research and other scholarly work with academic integrity and ethical rigour.

Disciplines such as medical anthropology, medical sociology, history of veterinary medicine, environmental medicine, multi-species ethnography etc are accepted for submission.
