The Yemen Journal of Medicine (YJM) is a triennial, open-access, peer-reviewed journal in English, published on behalf of a group of Yemeni physicians, both within Yemen and abroad, who recognized a gap in the availability of a publication platform for Yemeni contributions to the global medical literature. In response to this need, YJM was established to facilitate the exchange of contemporary medical knowledge among colleagues in developing countries, with a particular focus on Arab countries and the international community.
