Research Article | Volume: 1, Issue: 2 Published Date: July 30, 2025 The Hidden Crisis: A Cross-Sectional Study Exploring the Effect of Lebanese Economic Crisis on Contraceptive MeasuresAuthor(s): Rasha El Rifaii* Abstract: Background: Sexual and Reproductive health (SRH) promotion has been identified by the World Health Organization as one of the main working areas for healthier lives globally. SRH cannot be achieved without maintaining certain sexual rights including the right for family planning, highest attainable standards of healthcare and social security, and the right to be informed and educated about one?s sexual health. Access to contraceptive methods and education on this regard are key factors for promoting individuals? autonomy and welfare as well as the welfare of the community and for demoting unwanted pregnancy and maternal and child mortality. Lebanon has been debilitated by a compound of devastating financial and economic crisis that affected all aspects of life including health care and hence access to contraceptive methods. |

Mini Review Volume 1 | Volume: 1, Issue: 2 Published Date: July 24, 2025 Bridging the Gap: Evaluating India's Mental Health Budget 2025-26 and Its Implications for Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs)Author(s): Dr. Anand Dixit*, Raja Ram Pandey, Poushali Adhilari and Anirban Mondal Abstract: India's mental health infrastructure faces significant challenges, exacerbated by limited budget allocations and underutilization of existing funds. The FY 2025-26 Union Budget continues the trend of allocating less than 1% of the total health budget to mental health, with a disproportionate focus on tertiary institutions. This review examines the implications of such budgetary decisions on the functionality of Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs) under the Ayushman Bharat initiative, highlighting the resultant service delivery gaps. |

Review Article | Volume: 1, Issue: 1 Published Date: June 11, 2025 Evaluating Nigeria's progress working towards achieving SDG 6: A systematic literature reviewAuthor(s): Victor Chigbundu Nwaiwu, PhD Abstract: Building a better and sustainable future remains a target of the global community, SDGs a universal urgent call to action to achieving this by 2030. Of particular interest in implementation is SDG 6, recent reports revealing that two-third of the population in Nigeria lack access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services; responsible for the rising burden of WBDs in the country. In an attempt to evaluate Nigeria?s progress so far in meeting SDG 6, this SLR seeks to ascertain the availability and level of access to safe water supply, sanitation and hygiene practices, and patterns of WBDs. The PEO model was utilized to generate a research question, and a comprehensive search through databases done, utilizing key words such as ?safe and clean water?, ?sanitation facilities?, ?hygiene practices? and ?water-borne diseases?. |

Editorial Article | Volume: 1, Issue: 1 Published Date: March 20, 2025 Mental Health in the Pre-Digital and Post-Digital Eras: An Epigenetic PerspectiveAuthor(s): Vincenzo Maria Romeo Abstract: The evolution of mental health across historical epochs has been profoundly influenced by sociocultural and technological changes. The advent of the digital era has introduced significant shifts in the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric disorders. In the pre-digital era, mental health care was primarily based on in-person clinical assessments, limited diagnostic tools, and restricted access to specialized services. The post-digital era, however, has witnessed the rise of telepsychiatry, digital phenotyping, and artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics, which have transformed psychiatric practices. |
