The Lancet Regional Health – Eastern Mediterranean is an open access journal committed to advancing clinical practice and health policy in the Eastern Mediterranean with the goal of improving health outcomes for all people regionally and globally. As part of The Lancet Regional Health Global Initiative, we advocate for healthcare quality and access across the Eastern Mediterranean and provide a platform for high-quality original research that drives change. We invite submissions that pertain to regional health topics, including infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, child and adolescent health, maternal and reproductive health, mental health, health system strengthening, emergency preparedness and response, injuries and trauma, climate change, health policy, and health equity.

Join us—Sarah Aleyan, Editor-in-Chief, and Esraa Aly, Senior Editor—for this Lancet Webinar, during which you will learn about the journal's aims and scope, what we are looking for in a research paper, and best practices to prepare your manuscript for publication in The Lancet Regional Health – Eastern Mediterranean.

Whether you are an existing author or are thinking of submitting to The Lancet Group for the first time, we are committed to supporting you on whatever stage of your publication journey you find yourself.
