This section publishes multidisciplinary research on health, wellness, and healthcare delivery. Areas of interest include nursing, rehabilitation sciences, nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and hearing sciences, sports medicine, exercise science, health education, and allied health professions, with a focus on strengthening health systems and improving quality of care.

This section features research on population health, with emphasis on health promotion, disease prevention, and health equity. Topics include epidemiology, health policy, health systems research, environmental and occupational health, global health, preventive interventions, and health economics, including work on social determinants of health and strategies for strengthening prevention at community and population levels.

This section covers the foundational disciplines underpinning modern medicine, including physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, pathology, immunology, genetics, toxicology, and related biomedical sciences that advance scientific understanding of health and disease. We particularly welcome studies that bridge basic science and clinical application, including research in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.

This section focuses on diagnostic and clinical laboratory sciences, including haematology, clinical microbiology, virology, parasitology, clinical chemistry, clinical immunology, cytology, histopathology, autopsy pathology, molecular diagnostics, and laboratory technologies. We encourage research that links laboratory innovation with improved diagnosis, prognosis, treatment monitoring, and point-of-care testing.

This section welcomes research investigating the molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms of health and disease. Focus areas include biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, cell biology, systems biology, and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on translational studies that contribute to diagnostics, therapeutics, precision medicine, and understanding of disease pathogenesis.

This section publishes research on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health disorders. Areas of focus include mood and anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive disorders, psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and community mental health, with an emphasis on service delivery and integration of mental health care into general medical practice.

This section covers research on human behaviour and the strategies used to understand, predict, and influence it, reflecting the evolving and interdisciplinary nature of psychology and applied neuroscience. We welcome manuscripts addressing the interplay of biological, behavioural, social, economic, and environmental processes affecting mental well-being, including theoretical, experimental, clinical, or applied perspectives and related intervention strategies.

This section publishes research on the intersection of healthcare and information technology, including electronic health records, telemedicine, mobile health applications, artificial intelligence and machine learning in healthcare, clinical decision support systems, health data analytics, and digital therapeutics. We encourage studies that evaluate the implementation, effectiveness, and ethical implications of digital health innovations.

This section welcomes research on medical and health professions education, training methods, curriculum development, assessment strategies, simulation-based learning, interprofessional education, and continuing professional development. We also encourage submissions addressing medical ethics, bioethics, professionalism, patient safety culture, and healthcare quality improvement initiatives.
