Overcoming the Academic, Digital, and Research Divides: Bringing LMICs to the Decision-Making Table

Thursday September 26, 2024 2:00pm - 4:00pm EDT

Colonialism and its modern form, neocolonialism, have created a global system of inequality in which high-income countries (HICs) dominate decision-making and resource allocation in fields like Global Health (GH). Despite aiming for equity, GH initiatives frequently overlook low- and middle-income country (LMIC) perspectives, perpetuating dependency on HIC-led aid. LMICs face barriers in shaping GH agendas due to limited access to education, research, and secure internet infrastructure, alongside prohibitive costs for essential resources. Research funding primarily serves HIC interests, while demanding clinical settings and lower salaries constrain the involvement of LMIC professionals. Collectively, this results in mass underrepresentation of the work, ideas, and creativity of people in LMICs globally. To overcome these challenges, it is essential to prioritize involvement of LMICs in decision-making and support research agendas tailored to local needs. The Nuvance Health GH Program facilitates mutually beneficial, bidirectional partnerships in fourteen sites across eight countries—Armenia, Botswana, the Dominican Republic, India, Thailand, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe—focusing on healthcare education, research, infrastructure, and academic scholarship. Serving as a hub for LMIC-LMIC collaboration and capacity building of healthcare educators, the Majid Sadigh, MD GH Academy strives to increase LMIC access to education, research, academia, and ultimately the decision-making table. These efforts are critical for advancing SDGs related to health, education, economic growth, innovation, reduced inequities, peace, justice, and partnerships.
