Universiti Sains Malaysia December 2006-present Surgery Editor –in- Chief Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice (Formerly known as Southern Med Review)
In December 2008, I started Southern Med Review to promote pharmaceutical policy research at a global level. Southern Med Review was a biannual peer reviewed scientific journal.The journal has been unique in publishing the work of new researchers, documenting the pharmaceutical situation of low-and middle-income countries and debating pertinent pharmaceutical policy questions. The journal also published studies on the pharmaceutical situation of countries where little or no pharmaceutical literature was available e.g. Slovenia, Macedonia and Afghanistan. Moreover, the published studies have been instrumental in changing medicines policies in certain regions, especially in Vietnam and Thailand. The journal is indexed in PubMed, Scopus, and inWHO’s Essential Medicines Documentation Database. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/1901/
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/1901/ As the Chief Editor of the Journal, I have edited the following issues:
• Vol I Issue 1 Dec 2008
• Vol 2 Issue 1 April 2009 and Vol 2 Issue 2 Sep 2009
• Vol 3 Issue 1 Feb 2010 and Vol3 Issue 2 October 2010
• Vol 4 Issue 1 April 2011 and Vol 4 Issue 2 Dec 2011
• Vol 5 Issue 1 July 2012 and Vol 5 Issue 2 Dec 2012 Because of the Journal’s success and its niche in global pharmaceutical policy, BioMed Central, a UK based publisher has relaunched the journal as Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice in 2013. https://joppp.biomedcentral.com/
