| सारांश: | ► Global health can be anywhere as it often focuses
on large-scale health inequities that are rooted in
transnational determinants.
► Some global health initiatives and actors aim to find
solutions to domestic problems.
► King and Koski’s definition of global health may
exacerbate inequities by reserving the right to call
oneself a global health researcher to those who are
privileged and have access to funding that enables
them to travel to other settings.
► An inadequate definition of global health based on a
‘here’ vs ‘somewhere else’ dichotomy could result
in less funding for a field already characterised by
limited resources.
► The decolonisation of global health requires promot-
ing and valuing reflexivity, critical approaches, equi-
table partnerships and accountability. |
