Primary Health Care Practice Journal

A journal of choice for cutting-edge research, aligning practice with evidence in strengthening primary healthcare practice for lasting health change in Africa.

The PHCP Journal is now open for submissions

The PAMJ CPHRI is proud to introduce a new addition to the PAMJ Family of journals. The Primary Health Care Practice Journal is supported by Amref International University (AmIU).

The Primary Health Care Practice Journal (PHCP) is an independent, open-access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles on primary health care practice. It is hosted by Amref International University, an affiliate of Amref Health Africa. We believe that evidence-based practices on primary health care can achieve lasting health change in Africa and elsewhere.

Aim and Scope: To provide evidence for strengthening primary health care practice in Africa and beyond. We publish original scientific and best-practice research articles on all aspects of Primary Health Care Practice.

We welcome manuscripts in the following broad areas with a primary health care intersection:
  • Public and Community Health
  • Clinical Practice
  • Digital Health
  • Social Determinants of Health
  • Communicable and Non-communicable Disease Epidemiology
  • Global Health Security
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Implementation Research
  • Training/Capacity Building in Health Sciences
  • Reproductive Health
  • Mental and Occupational Health

Article Publishing Charges

To sustain its open-access publishing model, the PHCP Journal charges article processing fees (APCs). These fees are paid only upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Requests for APC waivers will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
The current APC is set at $200 USD for authors from Africa and $250 USD for authors from outside of Africa.
