Call for Papers  

The Serbian Journal of the Medical Chamber editorial office is opening a new call for  original articles, literature reviews with a substantiated discussion, clinical case reports,  interviews, written portraits, and socio-historical articles thatreflect prominent scientific  and professional thought and deal with health-relevant issues, especially those related  to youth, health workers and vulnerable population groups. The submitted articles  should generate and document evidence about relevant causes, factors, processes, and  immediate consequences and effects in contemporary society. 

In keeping with the Hippocratic Oath, the Journal aims to contribute to the protection and  improvement of the integrity of the mental, physical, and social health of people, the  empathy for the feelings and needs of healthy and sick people, the preservation of  solidarity, and the just action in the field of health in the community, on an individual and  structural level. 

The Journal editorial office firmly believes in the necessity of respecting universal human  rights, achieving the highest possible standard of life and work, and developing a healthy  environment. We condemn all forms of violence, stigmatization, discrimination, and any  other types of civilizationally and ethically unacceptable actions, as well as those  activities that disrupt the development of the community or endanger natural resources,  public goods, and the ecosystem. 

Consistently respecting the scientific method and professional and ethical norms, our  editorial office emphasizes the importance of science, as a platform for the exchange of  opinions and evidence, in the development and progress of society as a whole.
