description ► 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.
