Focusing on the theme of global health and medicine, at the beginning of the new era (Reiwa) in Japan, we are pleased and honored to launch Global Health & Medicine, an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal, published by the National Center for Global Health and Medicine (NCGM), which is a national research and development agency in Japan that covers advanced general medicine, basic science, clinical science, and international medical collaboration. The journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality original research that contributes to advancing global health and medicine, with the goal of creating a global information network for global health, basic science as well as clinical science oriented for clinical application. We aspire to identify, attract, and publish original research that supports advances of knowledge in critical areas of global health and medicine.
