Delta Oghara Medical Journal

We are pleased to present Volume 1, Issue 1 (May 2025) of the Delta Oghara Medical Journal (DOMJ), an inaugural edition that marks the beginning of a dedicated platform for high-quality, peer-reviewed medical scholarship in Nigeria and beyond.

This maiden issue showcases a diverse collection of original contributions from clinicians, researchers, and academics across various fields of medical science. The journal underscores our commitment to fostering evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the advancement of healthcare delivery both locally and globally.

In this issue, we feature:

• Comprehensive Reviews on critical topics such as the Tertiary Institution Social Health Insurance Programme (TISHIP) and its impact on healthcare access in Nigerian tertiary institutions, and the complex interplay between Parkinson’s Disease and patient quality of life.

• Case Reports that provide valuable insights into clinical challenges, including the management of a giant gallbladder stone and the diagnostic difficulties encountered in pediatric pulmonary hypertension.

Each article has undergone a rigorous double-blind peer review, reflecting DOMJ’s commitment to scientific integrity and excellence. As an open-access journal supported by the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN), DELSUTH chapter, we are dedicated to ensuring that these valuable contributions are freely accessible to the global medical community.

We extend our gratitude to our contributors, editorial and advisory boards, and peer reviewers whose expertise and commitment have made this issue possible. As DOMJ embarks on this scholarly journey, we invite researchers, clinicians, and healthcare stakeholders to engage with our content, submit their original work, and join us in building a vibrant academic platform.

Together, we advance knowledge. Together, we improve healthcare.
