Our Story
Founded in 2024 by Abdulmalik Fareeq Saber, Health Innovation Press was born from a clear vision: to empower researchers in Iraq and the broader Middle East with a platform that matches international publishing excellence. Seeing the gap in accessible, ethical, and globally visible publishing opportunities, Abdulmalik launched HIP to bring together scholarly voices under a transparent and forward-looking publishing model.
In 2025, HIP launched its first journal, Health Innovation Reports, which was quickly indexed in Google Scholar and Scilit. A formal application to the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is also underway. Building on this success, HIP will be expanded in 2026 with the launch of two additional journals, and by 2040, it aims to manage a portfolio of at least 15 peer-reviewed, internationally indexed journals.
