The Papua New Guinea Medical Journal is a peer-reviewed international publication that features articles focused on public health and medical practice in Papua New Guinea and other South Pacific nations. The editors welcome submissions of new research from scientists, clinicians, and managers, particularly those in the early stages of their research careers. The journal’s first issue was published in 1955.

From Volume 64, the journal has been published by CSIRO Publishing on behalf of the Medical Society of Papua New Guinea, with editorial support from the Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research.
