About the Journal
Empirical evidence suggests a substantial gap between healthcare delivery and surgical pathology in Central America compared to high-income countries in the Western Hemisphere. However, healthcare data and its dissemination in Central American countries remain limited. The mission of AvaGHJ is to enhance understanding of healthcare in Central America and drive improvements in patient care. While AvaGHJ primarily serves as a platform for healthcare providers and other researchers from Central American countries, submissions from other low- and middle- income countries will also be considered.
AvaGHJ is an open-access, blinded, peer-reviewed journal. Submitted manuscripts will be assessed for suitability by the editorial board and then shared for peer-review after initial requirements are met. All submissions must adhere to the formatting guidelines provided. Please download and use our manuscript template to ensure your submission meets the requirements. Accepted manuscripts will be published online free of charge at www.aidviaaction.org.
We eagerly await your submissions!
Please email manuscript submissions to: AvaGHJournal@gmail.com
