Paediatrics and International Child Health

Aims & Scope

Paediatrics and International Child Health is an international forum for all aspects of paediatrics and child health in developing and low-income countries.

The international, peer-reviewed papers cover a wide range of diseases in childhood and examine the social and cultural settings in which they occur.

Although the main aim is to enable authors in developing and low-income countries to publish internationally, it also accepts relevant papers from industrialised countries.

The journal is a key publication for all with an interest in paediatric health in low-resource settings.
