About the Journal

International Journal of Health Sciences, Public Health and Interdisciplinary Studies (IJHSPHIS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published by Veritas Vox Publishing House, Nasarawa State University, Keffi. The journal provides an inclusive platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research, policy-relevant insights, and practical innovations that address the dynamic challenges of health, healthcare systems, and public health in a global and African context.

Aim and Scope

IJHSPHIS is dedicated to publishing high-quality original research, systematic reviews, policy briefs, and case studies that advance knowledge in:

Health Sciences: clinical studies, biomedical research, disease prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

Public Health: epidemiology, health promotion, community health, global health, health economics, and healthcare management.

Interdisciplinary Studies: cross-cutting research linking health with education, technology, environment, social sciences, and policy innovation.

By emphasizing interdisciplinary dialogue, the journal encourages submissions that bridge health sciences with related fields—such as economics, governance, environmental studies, and data science—thereby shaping research-driven solutions for sustainable health systems.
