Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The post-COVID-19 era is characterized by a number of public health concerns and the emergence of tropical diseases that were previously neglected. The combined impacts of various public health problems are cumulatively affecting several indicators of health. Therefore, global health policy makers have raised concerns about the increasing challenges in attaining health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, there are global concerns on the feasibility of eradicating malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory infections, and other age-related diseases. This Special Issue presents a compendium of empirical research to inform national, regional, and global health policies focused on addressing health inequality, the financial burden of out-of-pocket payments, and child and maternal mortality in both developing and developed countries. Contributions focusing on applied quantitative and qualitative analyses are particularly encouraged. We also welcome relevant contributions on recent applications of machine learning languages using big data.
