About the journal
History of the journal
This Spanish journal was created in 1997 by Regional Order 5/1997 of January 14 by the Health Minister, by which it is established the issuing of the scientific publications “Anales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra”.
Its title links with “ANALES del Instituto Médico de la Beneficencia” and “ANALES del Instituto Médico de Navarra”, journals published between 1959 and 1984 to gather part of Navarre´s medical activity.
Although the initial goal was ANALES del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra to be a publication from Navarre´s health community to Navarre´s health community, over time it has welcomed authors from other autonomous communities and countries, who have helped shape the journal to what it is today.
2022 marks the 25th anniversary of the journal.
