Health Economics & Finance and Global Public Health

Dear Colleagues,

We call for papers for a Special Issue that focuses on global health as well as health economics and finance. The interconnected fluid network formed by the flow of cash, commodities, and communication technologies aided by human mobility helps to address healthcare reform, access, and efficiency in this globalized world. Topics regarding aging and the cost of addressing the spread of COVID-19 and health disparities is actually the epitome of globalization.

The aim of this Special Issue is to help disseminate innovative scholarship and strategies to advance global health, with a particular focus on health economics and finance and their far-reaching ramifications.

Original research, reviews, perspectives, and research notes on any topic relevant to global health are welcome. Multidisciplinary manuscripts related to all aspects of health economics & finance and global health are significant, and those relating to the association of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) and non-communicable diseases are also eligible to be considered. Additionally, manuscripts on health equity, global health security, implementation research, social determinants of health, population health, and other urgent and neglected global health issues are welcome.

The journal adheres to rigorous standards of peer review and will consider all manuscripts on the basis of ethical and methodological integrity and potential to contribute to the extant body of knowledge. We welcome quality articles in the above areas from scholars from around the world.

Guest Editor
