Dear Esteemed Authors,

We wish to inform you that our office will be closed for the Nyepi (Day of Silence) and Eid al-Fitr public holiday from March 28 to April 7, 2025.

Nyepi, also known as the Balinese Day of Silence, is a significant holiday celebrated on the first day of the Balinese new year according to the Balinese calendar. It is a time for self-reflection, quietude, and a deep connection with nature and spirituality.

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a sacred month of fasting and reflection for Muslims worldwide.

During this period, all office activities, including author submissions, inquiries, and correspondence, will be temporarily suspended. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we observe these important religious holidays.

Normal office operations will resume on April 8, 2025. We will promptly address any pending matters and resume our collaboration with you. Your patience and cooperation are highly valued.

We extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a joyful and blessed Eid al-Fitr celebration. May this special time be filled with happiness, peace, and prosperity.

Taqabbalallahu Minna wa Minkum Taqabbal Ya Karim.

Eid al-Fitr Mubarak!

Warm Regards,

Editor-in-Chief

Following discussions with our editorial team, the International Journal of Integrated Health Sciences (IJIHS) will implement a change in its submission policy starting in 2024.
