Our Journey
The Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College (JRMC) has been a cornerstone of medical research and education since its inception in 1997.
- Founded by visionary medical educators—Prof. Khalid Randhawa, Prof. Mussadiq Khan, Prof Khalid Hassan, and Prof Masood Qureshi—the journal was established to provide a platform for high-quality medical research and scholarly discourse. In its early years, under the editorship of Prof Khalid Hassan, Prof Imtiaz Ali, and Prof Arif Malik, JRMC was published biannually and achieved recognition by the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PM&DC) in 2002.
- The journal continued to evolve, and in 2014, through the dedicated efforts of Prof. Irfan and Dr Nadeem Ikram, it transitioned to a quarterly publication format and later secured recognition from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan.
- Today, under the leadership of Dr M. Khurram and Dr Arsalan Manzoor Mughal, and with the vision of Vice Chancellor Prof M. Umar, JRMC remains committed to maintaining the highest ethical and academic standards in medical publishing. As an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed journal, JRMC strictly follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
Our mission is to foster excellence in health sciences by providing a trusted platform for physicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to share knowledge that advances medical education, improves research standards, and contributes to better health outcomes worldwide. Over the years, JRMC has gained recognition from esteemed indexing bodies, including the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Crossref, Index Medicus for the Eastern Mediterranean Region (IMEMR), Portico, JISC, PMDC, and HEC (Category Y). Our journal continues to expand its reach and impact, publishing original research, review articles, and case reports in the fields of Medicine, Dentistry, and Allied Health Sciences. As the official publication of Rawalpindi Medical University (RMU), JRMC remains steadfast in its commitment to academic integrity, research excellence, and the dissemination of medical knowledge. Our archives are available both online at journalrmc.com and in print at the JRMC Office, Rawalpindi Medical University, Tipu Road, Rawalpindi.

Health Education Public Engagement & Community
Pakistan is grappling with a dual public health challenge—the double burden of disease, where communicable diseases (CDs) such as hepatitis, tuberculosis, and dengue, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes, hypertension, and cancer continue to threaten lives. Addressing these complex health issues requires a proactive approach grounded in education, prevention, and community engagement. At the forefront of this effort, the Journal of Rawalpindi Medical University (JRMC) proudly showcases the transformative role of students and faculty in leading health education and awareness campaigns. These initiatives aim to bridge knowledge gaps, implement preventive strategies, and empower communities with sustainable, evidence-based health solutions.
Pakistan has been confronting several health challenges due to recent disease outbreaks:
Polio
The country has reported a resurgence of polio cases, with the National Institute of Health confirming new instances of Wild Poliovirus Type 1 (WPV1) in Sindh’s Badin district. This brings the nationwide tally to 50 cases this year, underscoring the ongoing challenges in eradicating the disease.
Drug-Resistant Typhoid
There is a concerning spread of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) typhoid in Pakistan, particularly affecting children. This strain emerged in 2016 and shows resistance to nearly all antibiotics, complicating treatment efforts. The situation is exacerbated by limited access to clean water and sanitation facilities
Hepatitis Community Awareness
These outbreaks highlight the critical need for robust public health measures, including vaccination campaigns, improved sanitation, and effective disease surveillance, to mitigate the impact of these health challenges.
Hepatitis C Free Rawalpindi City Initiative
Conducting early disease detection for hepatitis, tuberculosis, and parasitic infections
Food & Waterborne Disease Prevention Campaigns
Educating families about safe drinking water, hygiene practices, and diarrheal disease management
Fighting the Rising Wave of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)
With the alarming rise of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer, RMU has integrated lifestyle medicine principles into its health awareness programs. Key interventions include:
- Lifestyle Medicine Awareness Programs – Promoting healthy eating, physical activity, mental well-being, and smoking cessation.
- Obesity & Diabetes Prevention Workshops – Engaging schools and workplaces in healthy lifestyle education to curb metabolic disorders.
- Tobacco Cessation & Lung Health Advocacy – Conducting anti-smoking campaigns and promoting smoke-free environments.
- Mental Health & Stress Management – Integrating mindfulness practices and raising awareness on stress-related illnesses.
