BU Research Blog

Today we were informed by Razi International Medical Journal that the paper ‘Management capacity in the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) Afghanistan: Political and socio-cultural issues’ [1] is finally out in print (i.e. online).  I wrote a BU Research Blog (see copy of this here!) on May 1st to announce that this paper had accepted by the editors in late April.  It has taken another four months at the editorial office to sort the publication details.

The lead author is Dr. Shaqaieq Ashrafi Dost, and this interesting paper is part of the dissemination of her Bournemouth University PhD research.  The paper is in an Open Access journal and hence freely available online to read.
