The First Issue of Journal of Medicine and Urban Health

Abstract

It is with great pride that we present the inaugural issue of the Journal of Medicine and Urban Health (JMUH), marking a new era in our legacy as the Vajira Medical Journal: Journal of Urban Medicine. This transformation signifies a timely expansion of the Journal’s vision—to serve not only as a reputable scientific publication, but also as a bridge for Thai researchers to connect and collaborate with the international research community under our new identity.
We are honored to welcome a newly appointed editorial board composed of leading experts from Thailand and around the world. Their collective expertise will guide our commitment to publishing impactful, peer-reviewed research across a wide range of disciplines—including clinical and basic sciences, public health (especially in urban settings), health policy, and medical innovation.
Our goal is to position the journal as a prominent international platform that contributes to medical and public health knowledge and informs policies relevant to health—particularly in urban contexts. We also aspire to be indexed in Scopus and other high-visibility international databases in the coming years, ensuring the widest possible reach for our authors’ work.
As Editor-in-Chief, I invite researchers worldwide to contribute to and engage with the JMUH. Together, we aim to advance knowledge that improves medical and public health outcomes for populations globally, especially in urban environments.
