Greetings!

 

I am pleased to announce that the April issue of the International Journal of Health Policy and Management (IJHPM) is now online. I would like to further announce that IJHPM was indexed in PubMed in early March and now all 6 issues of the journal, with 90 articles, are visible in PubMed.

 

We published this issue amidst the hustle and bustle of organizing a one-day international seminar on “Improving Quality and Efficiency of Health Services by Introducing Market Incentives, Competition, and Choice: Opportunities and Challenges” which will be held at Kerman University of Medical Sciences on Saturday April 19th. For further information about this seminar and speakers please visit the seminar website at:
