We remain committed to strengthening the health research ecosystem and to publishing robust, impactful evidence that represents the people and health concerns of the region.  \nOur editorials have been notably varied this year, with topics including oral health, road traffic accidents, drowning prevention, and measles elimination. Perhaps of most importance are the editorials highlighting injustice in the areas of disability inclusion, road traffic accidents, and HIV response, topics that have not been given sufficient priority. The platform has also highlighted important social concerns, particularly for groups whose voices would otherwise go unheard. The February editorial addressed the endemic violence against children in the region, in all its forms. The journal has been a strong platform for underrepresented geographies such as Timor-Leste and Bhutan, and for marginalised population groups including LGBTQ+ communities, people living with disabilities, and individuals with mental health conditions—highlighting legal and social barriers to health access and the need for systemic change. Our January issue emphasised the urgent need to embed disability and queer health in medical education systems, aligning with our ongoing commitment to health equity for all people in the region.  \nThis commitment to representation is seen in the opinion pieces authored by experts, which have delivered timely insights into social dimensions of health issues. This December issue drives advocacy on adolescent pregnancy in the region, a previously underrecognised public health priority with policy relevance. These pieces provide an opportunity to discuss overlooked yet important topics, such as caste-based social discrimination against mortuary workers in Bangladesh and linguistic inclusivity in health care.  \nThis year, the journal highlighted the need for policy change on key regional issues such as neonatal care and preconception nutrition.

Our August editorial, on the gapsin universal health coverage in the region, was topical and offered an important alternate perspective for media reporting. Further, we examined systemic issues in mental health services and primary health-care financing and provided a platform for neglected tropical diseases such as leprosy, leishmaniasis, and melioidosis.  \nRecognising the significant burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the region, the journal focused on research that influences NCD prevention and explored its complexity, as discussed in the November editorial highlighting the unique nature of diabetes in the region. The journal covered topics such as food retail policy, food labelling, and ultra-processed food consumption. Additionally, we have published novel, regionally relevant evidence, like identification of protein targets for dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular diseases among south Asian populations and a familyled care model for diabetes management.  \nMental health remains an important topic for the journal.
