The International Journal of Maternal and Child and AIDS (IJMA) is an open-access, peer-reviewed global health journal committed to publishing high-quality articles in all areas of maternal and child health and the burden and impact of HIV/AIDS on maternal and child health populations. Despite improvements in health technology, health outcomes for the maternal and child health populations remain dire. For example, Black maternal mortality in the U.S. is at a historic high, worse than in any other developed nation; maternal and infant mortality in low and middle-income countries are surging. The burden of HIV/AIDS persists, especially among underserved and minority communities; health outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS remain poor. The journal publishes different paper types that investigate how the social determinants of health factors and communicable and non-communicable diseases impact the maternal and child health populations at the local, national, and global levels.
