Aim & Scope

Aims of the Journal

The Journal of Non-Communicable Diseases and Care is committed to advancing scholarly research and practical knowledge in the prevention, management, and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The journal seeks to:

  • Promote innovative, evidence-based research addressing the global burden of NCDs.

  • Encourage interdisciplinary collaboration across medicine, public health, social sciences, and technology.

  • Support the development of sustainable healthcare systems and policies for chronic disease management.

  • Provide a platform for translational research that bridges clinical findings with real-world healthcare applications.

  • Highlight equity-focused approaches to reduce disparities in NCD outcomes, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

  • Facilitate the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital health, and precision medicine in disease care.
