CMMPH would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the newly established Journal of Asian Midwives on publishing its first issue. Journal of Asian Midwives (JAM) is the first regional online midwifery journal launched by the South Asian Midwifery Alliance (SAMA). Prof. Rafat Jan based in Pakistan at Aga Khan University’s School of Nursing and Midwifery is the lead editor. JAM aims to give a voice to midwives, nurses-midwives, women’s health clinicians, and reproductive health professionals as well as social scientists.
CMMPH proudly announces that one of our Bournemouth University PhD students, Ms. Sheetal Sharma, is on the new journal’s Associate Board. Sheetal’s research is on maternity care in Nepal.
The journal is Open Access and free. JAM does not charge subscription fees so it is free for readers nor does it charge a submission fee so it is also free for authors! The journal can be found at: http://ecommons.aku.edu/jam/
