Nature Medicine is a monthly journal from the Nature Portfolio publishing original peer-reviewed research in all areas of medicine on the basis of its originality, timeliness, interdisciplinary interest and impact on improving human health. The journal increasingly publishes research on public and global health, including qualitative and mixed methods research, and this will be the focus for a new journal that will launch in 2026, Nature Health, which will publish research from all relevant disciplines that has an impact on health policy and practice.
