Abstract
The future of global health requires new models for research partnerships. The pandemic has highlighted the need to address interconnected challenges worldwide. High-income countries (HIC) must include low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) in collaborations. Quick learning and adaptation are essential in our fast-paced world. Together, we must confront complex global issues like pandemics, migration, pollution, and climate change. Sustainable Development Goal 17 emphasizes the importance of partnerships for achieving equitable global development. Collaborations between HIC and LMIC in health research benefit communities by addressing local health concerns and promoting long-term value. These partnerships facilitate access to technology, knowledge sharing, and innovation and should be productive, enjoyable, and inclusive, involving diverse partners with varied skills to tackle challenges and nurture talent mobility.
