About the Societies

The Japanese Society of Tropical Medicine

The Japanese Society of Tropical Medicine (JSTM) was founded in 1959 with the objective of contributing and improving global health and medical treatments worldwide. JSTM believes that tropical medicine is not defined merely by weather or climate, but is an interdisciplinary field which helps to eliminate the gaps in health, society and economy among countries and regions. JSTM is dedicated to promoting academic studies and development in the field of tropical medicine by disseminating relevant research at annual meetings and in Tropical Medicine and Health, JSTM's official journal.

The Japan Association for Global Health

The Japan Association for Global Health (JAGH) was founded in 1986 with the aims to contribute to the progress and enhancement of international health, as well as the promotion of academic and cultural activities.

Aims and scope

Tropical Medicine and Health is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research and reviews on all aspects of tropical medicine and global health. The journal welcomes clinical, epidemiological, laboratory and policy research.

Call for Papers: Climate Change and Health in the Tropics

This collection aims to explore the complex interplay between climate change and public health in tropical regions worldwide. The tropics, characterized by unique biodiversity and socio-economic diversity, face disproportionate impacts from climate change, including rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events that pose significant challenges to human health.

Call for papers: Global school health promotion in post COVID-19 era

We aim to call for an introduction to Japanese-style school health, which is attracting widespread attention, and case report on the current status of school health in low- and middle-income countries and its development in areas where implementation is new. In addition, school health that strengthens adolescent health will be presented, with a spotlight on mental health and comprehensive sex education.
