Journal of Healthcare Systems in Developing Economies

The Journal of Healthcare Systems in Developing Economies is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing research on the design, governance, financing, and performance of healthcare systems in low- and middle-income countries. The journal provides a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to disseminate original studies that address the unique challenges facing developing economies, including resource constraints, health equity, and the integration of digital health solutions into fragmented care delivery systems.

Aims & Scope

The journal aims to serve as a leading forum for evidence-based research that informs healthcare system strengthening in developing economies. It seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and policy implementation, fostering dialogue on sustainable financing, universal health coverage, workforce development, and the role of innovation in improving health outcomes in resource-limited settings.

The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, and case studies. Its scope encompasses, but is not limited to:

  • Health System Governance and Policy: Regulatory frameworks, decentralization, public-private partnerships, and health sector reform in developing economies.

  • Health Financing and Universal Health Coverage: Social health insurance, out-of-pocket expenditure, donor funding, and pathways toward UHC.

  • Service Delivery and Primary Healthcare: Community health systems, referral networks, and the integration of primary care in resource-limited settings.

  • Health Workforce and Human Resources: Training, retention, and distribution of health workers in developing economies.

  • Digital Health and Health Information Systems: Telemedicine, mobile health, electronic health records, and data-driven decision-making in low-resource contexts.

  • Health Equity and Social Determinants: Access barriers, vulnerable populations, and the intersection of health with poverty, education, and gender.

  • Pharmaceutical and Supply Chain Management: Medicine availability, procurement systems, and supply chain resilience in developing economies.
