Journal Descriptions

HEC Forum is an international peer reviewed scholarly journal that focuses on ethical issues and policy discussions related to healthcare practice, biomedical research, and health system governance. The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for academic debate on topics such as clinical ethics, public health ethics, research integrity, patient autonomy, healthcare justice, and professional responsibility in medical decision making. It publishes conceptual analyses, empirical studies, and critical commentaries that examine moral challenges arising from technological innovation, healthcare resource allocation, and evolving societal expectations regarding medical care. The journal also explores ethical dimensions of health policy reforms, end of life care, reproductive health decisions, and global health equity. By encouraging dialogue among philosophers, clinicians, legal scholars, and healthcare administrators, HEC Forum contributes to strengthening ethical awareness and reflective practice in healthcare environments. The publication supports evidence informed ethical reasoning and aims to improve the quality, accountability, and transparency of healthcare services.
