The Milbank Quarterly is a quarterly peer-reviewed healthcare journal covering health care policy. It was established in 1923 and is published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of the Milbank Memorial Fund, an endowed national foundation funded by Elizabeth Milbank Anderson that supports research of issues related to population health and health policy.[1] It covers topics such as the impact of social factors on health, prevention, allocation of health care resources, legal and ethical issues in health policy, health and health care administration, and the organization and financing of health care.
The Milbank Memorial Fund has historically funded controversial health care practices, including the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which African Americans were systematically and deceptively denied critical care for the benefit of the white scientific community. In June 2022, it apologized to descendants of the study’s victims for its the role in the study.[2]
