Of 112 global health conferences with 254 601 attendees, of which 4% of conferences were hosted in low-income countries. Of the 98 302 attendees, for whom affiliation was disclosed, 38 167 (39%) were from LMICs. Clearly, #globalhealth is still not global. @HarvardPGSSC

Global health conferences are important platforms for personal and professional development, as well as decision-making. However, systemic barriers such as visa restrictions hinder equitable access to the conferences. @paimadhu: https://go.nature.com/3ivRjeB 

We can and must do better. We must escape the "Davos syndrome" and bridge the disconnect between frontline champions and those able to attend (and speak!) at global health conferences. In our paper, we present successful strategies to do so from previous conferences.

A true pleasure working with wonderful @HarvardPGSSC team on this project: @jwlartigue @ulricksidney @Anudarizorigt @ptrucheMD and Sam Johnson, with inspiring leadership from @MichelleJoMD. Keep a look out for many more exciting things to come from our group!
