The launch of the Fazaia Journal of Health Sciences (FJHS) in collaboration with Air University marks a significant milestone in our institution’s journey toward academic excellence and the advancement of health sciences. In an era of rapidly evolving medical knowledge and interdisciplinary collaboration, there is a need for credible, accessible, and regionally relevant platforms to share research, clinical experiences, and relevant educational advancements.

The vision behind this journal is to provide an authentic platform for faculty members, researchers, clinicians, and students to share their findings, ideas, and innovations with the wider academic and professional community. While the world is enriched with countless medical journals, we believe there remains a crucial space for a publication that reflects the unique healthcare challenges, opportunities, and perspectives of Pakistan and similar contexts while maintaining international standards of scientific writing and publishing as defined by ICMJE.

We remain committed to foster a culture of scientific inquiry and critical thinking, bridging the gap between research and practice. By encouraging contributions from diverse disciplines of medicine, dentistry, nursing, public health, allied health sciences, biomedical sciences, bioinformatics, and medical education — we aim to inspire multidisciplinary collaboration and innovation. Each article we publish will undergo a standard peer-review process, ensuring the quality, relevance, and ethical integrity of scientific content.

The Fazaia Journal of Health Sciences is not merely a repository of articles; it is a platform for dialogue, mentorship, and inspiration. We hope it will encourage young researchers to take their first confident steps into scientific writing, while providing seasoned academics with a respected forum to disseminate impactful work.

This inaugural issue is the first chapter of a long journey. We invite our readers, authors, and reviewers to join us in building a journal that is both locally relevant and globally recognized. Together, we can contribute to a healthier society through the advancement of knowledge.
