HIGIVARA: Journal of Health Sciences and Policy is an interdisciplinary scholarly journal that publishes research and academic discussions concerning the multiple dimensions of health. The journal understands health not only as a clinical or biomedical matter, but also as an issue shaped by social conditions, community environments, professional practices, institutional governance, technological development, ethical considerations, and public policy.

The journal provides a publication platform for researchers, lecturers, healthcare professionals, practitioners, students, and policymakers from various health-related disciplines. It welcomes original research articles, review articles, conceptual papers, and applied studies that contribute to the development of health knowledge, professional practice, healthcare services, and evidence-based policymaking.

The journal covers health sciences, medicine, nursing, midwifery, pharmacy, nutrition, public and community health, epidemiology, mental health, health promotion, environmental and occupational health, healthcare management, digital health, health education, health ethics, health regulation, and health policy. Interdisciplinary studies connecting health with social, legal, economic, technological, cultural, and institutional issues are also encouraged, provided that health remains the principal focus of the article.

Through the publication of relevant and methodologically sound scholarly works, HIGIVARA seeks to strengthen the relationship between scientific evidence, professional practice, community needs, and health policy. The journal is committed to supporting critical academic discussion and the development of responsive, equitable, and sustainable health systems.
