Dear colleagues,
As the fifth anniversary of the first issue of the Serbian Journal of the Medical Chamber approaches, the
Editorial Board is pleased to highlight that over 200 professional and scientific papers, as well as book reviews, on various topics from virtually all fields of medical science, have been published during this period.
We have established a strategic partnership with the Institute for Medical Research of the University of Belgrade, which has become a co-publisher of our journal. Thanks to the Editorial Board’s commitment to maintaining the high quality of published manuscripts, ensuring proper and thorough peer review, and adhering
to all other criteria necessary to provide valuable professional and scientific contributions, the Journal was
included in the List of Categorized Scientific Journals by the Serbian Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation, in 2023.
The first five years of the Journal were neither easy nor simple. Therefore, we take particular pride in
emphasizing that—even during the COVID-19 pandemic, throughout essential and organizational changes aimed at improving and modernizing the structure and quality of the Journal itself, and now, in light of
recent dynamic global and local events—we have remained steadfast in our primary goal: the professional
and scientific promotion of individual and national health as one of the most important societal values.
In the current issue of the Journal, we present original articles by our esteemed colleagues from Angola,
Teresa Vilunga Chituko Candido and Francisca da Caridade Felix Chitanga, which showcase the experiences
in the areas of public health, as well as human resource and health system information management, within
the country's healthcare system.
