The Journal of the National Medical Association is focused on specialized clinical research activities related to the health problems of African Americans and other minority groups. Special emphasis is placed on the application of medical science to improve the healthcare of underserved populations both in the United States and abroad.
We must lead the continued fight against inequities in public health policies, public-funded private delivery methods and financing that impact the access and quality of care, and specialized medical education that ensures a diverse healthcare workforce.
“Healthcare is a fundamental human right. The NMA is committed to addressing the health disparities that disproportionately affect Black Americans and ensuring access to quality health care for all.”
“At a time when communities of color are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, a worsening maternal mortality crisis exists, and there continues to be a host of other disparities, the need for diversity in medicine and for perspectives such as ours is critical.”
Access valuable health resources designed to empower and educate. From information on cancer, cardiovascular disease, and HIV/AIDS to resources on women’s health, asthma, and immunization, we are dedicated to promoting healthy living and preventing illness.
