African Journal of Thoracic and Critical Care Medicine (AJTCCM)

The African Journal of Thoracic and Critical Care Medicine (AJTCCM) is a peer-reviewed open-access medical journal dedicated to research and clinical practice in pulmonology, thoracic diseases, and critical care medicine. The journal is the official publication of the South African Thoracic Society and is published by the South African Medical Association. Established in 2018, it evolved from the earlier South African Respiratory Journal to provide a broader platform for research on respiratory diseases and intensive care medicine in Africa and globally. AJTCCM publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical case reports, and expert commentaries focusing on diseases and conditions affecting the respiratory system and critically ill patients. Key topics covered include pulmonary infections, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, thoracic surgery, ventilatory support, emergency respiratory care, and intensive care management. The journal also highlights research addressing emerging respiratory health challenges, particularly those relevant to African populations. The journal follows a rigorous peer-review process to maintain high academic and clinical standards. Articles published in AJTCCM contribute to improving diagnosis, treatment, and management of respiratory and critical care conditions. By encouraging collaboration among clinicians, researchers, and healthcare institutions, the journal supports the advancement of respiratory medicine and critical care research while promoting evidence-based healthcare practices across Africa and the international medical community.
