The Pan African Medical Journal

The PAMJ's mission is to provide a comprehensive and inclusive platform for the dissemination of knowledge, research findings, and best practices in healthcare, with a specific focus on Africa. The journal's vision is to contribute significantly to the improvement of healthcare outcomes, policies, and systems in Africa, thereby enhancing the overall well-being of the population.

The rise in image submissions is linked to the widespread availability of mobile phone cameras, allowing clinicians to document and share cases, creating a valuable, practitioner-generated library of medical iconography.

Highlighting Regional Health Issues

By providing a platform for researchers across the continent to publish their findings, the PAMJ is not just documenting health trends; it is actively shaping health policy and improving patient outcomes in Africa. What is The Pan African Medical Journal?

PAMJ was founded in 2008 by Dr. Raoul Kamadjeu and Dr. Landry Tsague, two public health specialists who recognized the urgent need for a high-quality, African-led journal. Their goal was not just to create another publication but to build a complete ecosystem to support African researchers and counteract a global publishing industry that often marginalized their work. What began as a vision has grown into one of the biggest open-access general medical journals on the continent. The journal has since expanded its operations, employing a dedicated team of , supported by contractors in Europe and India.
