Maternal and Neonatal Care Journal (MNCJ) is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in maternal and neonatal health care. The journal publishes high-quality original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical studies, and evidence-based case reports that explore innovations, best practices, and policy developments in maternal and newborn care. MNCJ serves as an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, clinicians, midwives, nurses, public health professionals, and policymakers to disseminate scientific findings, discuss emerging challenges, and promote strategies aimed at improving the quality, safety, and outcomes of maternal and neonatal services at local, national, and global levels.

Topics covered include:

Maternal health across the continuum of care (preconception, antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care); neonatal health and early newborn interventions; high-risk pregnancies and neonatal complications; evidence-based midwifery and nursing practices; maternal and neonatal intensive care; reproductive health and family planning; public health strategies to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality; health systems strengthening and quality improvement in maternal and newborn services; digital health innovations in maternal and neonatal care; psychosocial aspects of maternal well-being; ethics, policy, and governance in maternal and neonatal health; and community-based and culturally responsive care models.

Maternal and Neonatal Care Journal (MNCJ) aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration among clinicians, researchers, public health experts, and policymakers, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and best practices in maternal and newborn health. Articles published in MNCJ are grounded in rigorous scientific methodology and are expected to clearly articulate their theoretical and practical implications for clinical practice, health systems, and policy development. Authors are encouraged to explicitly highlight their contributions to the advancement of maternal and neonatal care, while also addressing the broader societal impact of their work. In alignment with global health priorities, MNCJ welcomes studies that support sustainability in healthcare systems and contribute to the achievement of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to maternal and child health, health equity, and well-being.
