Letters: viewpoints on current issues

Letters is an occasional series that includes letters to the editor and opinion pieces on topics and trends of current interest within the Journal’s scope. Potential publication is subject to the review and approval of the editorial team. Letters are not technical comments or opinions on peer-reviewed articles published by the Journal, so we do not accept these kinds of contributions. Letters may be reviewed but as this is not usually a peer-reviewed section of the Journal, they should not contain primary data. All viewpoints discussed in this section are only those of the Letters’ authors and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Journal of Communication in Healthcare: Strategies, Media, and Engagement in Global Health, its publisher, or its editorial team.
