Publishing is pleased to announce the launch of the African
Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine. This open access journal
serves as a repository for cutting-edge, peer-reviewed research
in all fields of primary health care and family medicine
in a uniquely African context. Encouraging scholarly
exchange between family medicine and primary health care
researchers and practitioners across Africa, PHCFM provides
a contextual and holistic view of family medicine as practised
across the continent.
The journal is indispensable for primary health care practitioners,
family medicine specialists and academics from both the developing
and developed worlds, and offers an engaging insight into the
growth of these disciplines from a distinctly African perspective. |

The official
launch of the journal will take place at the Primafamed conference
in Kampala, Uganda 17th-21st November; a press conference
