The Yemen Journal of Medicine (YJM) is a triennial, open-access, peer-reviewed journal in English, published on behalf of a group of Yemeni physicians, both within Yemen and abroad, who recognized a gap in the availability of a publication platform for Yemeni contributions to the global medical literature. In response to this need, YJM was established to facilitate the exchange of contemporary medical knowledge among colleagues in developing countries, with a particular focus on Arab countries and the international community.

The journal will publish research of interest to health specialties both in academic and clinical practice. YJM publishes original research articles in Medicine and its subspecialties, Family Medicine, Community, and Occupational Medicine, Public Health, Microbiology, Pharmacy, Pathology, Health Quality, and Hospital Management. YJM provides rapid publication of research articles in all areas of medicine and medical sciences in the form of original articles, short communications, case reports/case series/case-based reviews, letters to the editor, review articles, and clinical quizzes. The target readers of the Journal include all medical and health professionals in the health cluster such as in medicine, dentistry, nursing, applied medical sciences, clinical pharmacology, public health, etc.
