Welcome to the Journal of Health and Social Sciences
Journal Title: Journal of Health and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Dear Readers, It gives us enormous pleasure to officially launch the inaugural issue of the Journal of Health and Social Sciences. The Journal is an interdisciplinary, open access journal that focuses on the medical and health sciences. Topics of interest to the journal include all branches of medicine and other disciplines related to health such as psychology, social sciences and public, occupational and environmental sciences. According to the World Health Organization’s definition, health is ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. Therefore, the leitmotiv throughout Journal of Health and Social Sciences will be “health” in every way.
