Abstract

Health inequities in pediatric subspecialty care in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) are a long-standing challenge due to limited subspecialty providers, expensive pharmacologic treatments, and barriers to accessing treatment centers.1-3 Without providing specialty care to children worldwide, we perpetuate global inequities. Efforts have been made to provide short-term surgical and medical brigades to countries who lack the financial means to establish specialty centers.4-7 Larger-scale programs have brought together clinicians to provide education to health providers and educational institutions to reduce the global inequality in pediatric subspecialty care.
