Editorial [Malta Journal of Health Sciences, Vol.1(1)]

Abstract

Health and science come together in myriad ways. Despite the diversity characterising the health sciences, the importance attached to optimal quality of life in the human being is common to all. The health science disciplines therefore feed into health care, which focuses on the diagnosis, management and prevention of impairments that impinge on the individual’s health status. The remit of health sciences is wide-ranging. One can only imagine the wealth of knowledge that research in the various fields generates when considered collectively as an effort towards improving health care. It is precisely for this purpose that the Malta Journal of Health Sciences (MJHS) is being launched.
