- Description:
- The African Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine (PHCFM), launched in 2008, is the official journal of WONCA (World Organization of Family Doctors) Africa Region and the PRIMAFAMED (Primary Care and Family Medicine) network. It provides a platform for scholarly exchange between family medicine and primary health care researchers and practitioners across Africa. It provides a contextual and holistic view of family medicine and primary health care as practised across the continent. The journal is indispensable to primary health care practitioners, family medicine specialists and academics with an interest in the African continent and offers an engaging insight into the growth of these disciplines from a distinctly African perspective. PHCFM seeks to publish innovative research, reviews, country profiles, short reports, editorials and opinion pieces on all aspects of primary health care and family medicine in the African context. Within the fields of family medicine and primary health care, research can focus on health promotion, disease prevention, therapeutics and clinical medicine, disability and rehabilitation, palliative care and pain management, district health services and systems, community-orientated primary care, sexual health, rural health care, oral health, emergency care, and the education and training of professionals and health workers.
