Aims & Scopes
The Tazeez Public Health Journal (TPHJ) aims to establish itself as a trusted channel for exchanging ideas and evidence on emerging and ongoing issues in public health and population health. The journal particularly encourages work that informs policy, guides practice, improves health services and addresses health inequities.
TPHJ welcomes submissions that strengthen the knowledge and skills of researchers, practitioners and students in public health, including those from low- and middle-income countries and underserved communities. The journal strives to provide visibility for high-quality work that may otherwise be under-represented in the global literature.
