Introduction: A New Era for African Science For decades, the landscape of medical research was dominated by journals based in Europe and North America. African scientists often faced a cruel paradox: they were expected to publish their findings in high-impact "international" journals, yet these same journals frequently rejected studies focused on local African diseases, health systems, or socioeconomic contexts, citing a "lack of generalizability."
By providing a visible, citable, and respected home for African data, PAMJ ensures that the world’s response to diseases like malaria, sickle cell anemia, and mpox is informed by African researchers, not just Western consultants.
