NEW

* The APJHEP newly calls for papers featuring health economic impacts of COVID-19 pandemic and policy reactions under country/region-specific contexts to share policy lessons across Asian Pacific regions. The Journal prefers to empirical research papers on the issue, though not excludes other types of studies, e.g. macro/micro simulation-based estimation, political analysis, etc. The Journal invites submission from a wider range of researchers in Asian Pacific regions where the pandemic patterns, policy reactions, and their consequences are unique compared to those in Europe and the North America.
